Shock wave lithotripsy had limited success for ureteric stones in a small case series. Most patients required additional procedures like ureteroscopy or open surgery for stone removal.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Ureteric stones, or ureteral calculi, are a common urological condition.
  • Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a non-invasive treatment option for kidney and ureteral stones.

Observation:

  • A review of five ureteric stone cases treated with first-line SWL at Puigvert Urology Centre was conducted.
  • The study details the outcomes of these SWL treatments.

Findings:

  • Only one out of five patients achieved successful stone clearance with SWL alone after multiple sessions.
  • Four patients required secondary interventions, including ureteroscopy in one case and open surgery in three cases, to resolve the ureteric stones.

Implications:

  • First-line SWL demonstrates limited efficacy as a standalone treatment for ureteric stones in this series.

  • Alternative or combination treatment strategies may be necessary for optimal ureteric stone management.
