Pulsed dye laser lithotripsy for ureteric calculi.
Laser has proven to be an effective and safe method of treating ureteral stones. When the electromagnetic energy of a laser pulse is selectively absorbed by stone, a plasma fonns at the surface. This plasma, which is composed of ions and electrons, continues to absorb laser energy reaching very high pressure and generating a shock wave that fragment the stone. The degree of stone fragmentation ...
متن کاملImpact of obesity on ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy of urinary tract calculi.
PURPOSE The treatment of urinary tract stones in obese patients may differ from the treatment of non-obese patients and their success rate varies. Our objective was to compare ureteroscopic treatment outcomes of ureteral and renal stones, stratified for stone size and location, between overweight, obese and non-obese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Charts were reviewed for 500 consecutive pat...
متن کاملEffectiveness and Safety of Ureteroscopic Holmium Laser Lithotripsy for Upper Urinary Tract Calculi in Elderly Patients.
Upper urinary tract calculi are common; however, there is no recommended treatment selection for elderly patients. Ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy (URS lithotripsy) is minimally invasive, and it provides a high stone-free rate (SFR) treatment for upper urinary tract calculi. Here, we retrospectively evaluated the surgical outcomes of URS lithotripsy after dividing the 189 cases into 3 g...
متن کاملOutcomes of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy with holmium laser for upper urinary tract calculi.
OBJECTIVE To assess the perioperative and financial outcomes of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy with holmium laser for upper tract calculi in 44 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 2004 and September 2006, 44 patients treated for upper tract stone with flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy were evaluated. Renal stones were associated with collecting system obstruction in 15 (34%)...
متن کاملManagement of urinary tract calculi by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
From July 1989 to April 1993, Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) was performed on 642 patients, of which 21 were from the pediatric age group. All treatments were done on a second generation lithotriptor-Siemens Lithostar, which does not require any modification for positioning of children. Fragmentation was achieved in all the patients (100%). A complete stone free rate was achieved i...
