Semi-rigid Ureteroscopy versus Open Ureterolithotomy for Management of Large Upper Ureteric Stones: a Comparative Study
Objectives: To compare outcome of open ureterolithotomy versus semi-rigid ureteroscopy in management of large upper ureteric stones. Patients and Methods: Patients with large upper ureteric stones (≥2cm) who were managed by ureteroscopy (31 patients) or ureterolithotomy (31 patients) were included retrospectively from January 2012 to December 2014. Primary stone-free rate (SFR), secondary SFR (...
متن کاملManagement of upper ureteral stones exceeding 15 mm in diameter: Shock wave lithotripsy versus semirigid ureteroscopy with holmium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser lithotripsy
OBJECTIVES We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy and outcome of shock wave lithotripsy versus semirigid ureteroscopy in the management of the proximal ureteral stones of diameter exceeding 15 mm. METHODS During the 2009-2014 study period, 147 patients presenting with the proximal ureteral stones exceeding 15 mm in diameter were treated. Both shock wave lithotripsy and ur...
متن کاملFlexible ureteroscopy for renal stones.
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this prospective study are to present our experience with retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), and to analyze its results and complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS 150 patients with renal stones were treated with RIRS. 111 cases showed single stones whilst multiple stones were observed in 39 cases. The mean size was 19.12mm (r: 5-74). Success rate was defined as th...
متن کاملFlexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy for stones >2 cm: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Urinary stones >2 cm are traditionally managed with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Recently, flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy) (FURSL) has been used to manage them with comparable results. In a comparative study of renal stones between 2 and 3 cm, FURSL was reported to need less second-stage procedures and be just as effective as PCNL. Our purpose was to ...
متن کاملIs semirigid ureteroscopy sufficient in the treatment of proximal ureteral stones? When is combined therapy with flexible ureteroscopy needed?
The goals of this study were to examine cases of proximal ureteral stones in which semirigid or flexible ureteroscopes alone were insufficient for endoscopic treatment, requiring the combination of both. A total of 137 patients were retrospectively evaluated. Holmium laser was used as the energy source for stone fragmentation. Each operation was begun with a 6/7.5 Fr semirigid ureteroscope (URS...
