Minimally invasive stone surgery: percutaneous, ureteroscopic and extracorporeal approaches to renal and ureteral calculi.
The goal of treating renal and ureteral calculi is to achieve complete stone clearance with minimal morbidity. The treatment depends on various factors, including stone size, composition and location, clinical “patient factors”, availability of the equipment and the surgeon’s capability. Recent prospective trials suggest that ureteroscopy provides certain advantages over shock wave therapy (SWL...
متن کاملA Comparison of Treatment Modalities in Renal and Ureteral Calculi
In the decades, since the advent of shockwave lithotripsy, instrumentation and techniques in both ureteroscopic and percutaneous stone management have improved exponentially, leading to both increased success and lower complication rates. As a result, there have been some controversies revolving around the therapeutic modality of choice for specific stones in terms of their size and location. T...
متن کاملUS detection of renal and ureteral calculi in patients with suspected renal colic
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether the color Doppler twinkling sign could be considered as an additional diagnostic feature of small renal lithiasis (_5mm). METHODS 181 patients underwent CT scans performed for other pathologies; the images were also analyzed by a radiologists to identify the incidental presence of renal lithiasis equal to or smaller than 5 mm.These pa...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of Ho:YAG Laser Lithotripsy for ureteroscopic removal of proximal and distal ureteral calculi
BACKGROUND Laser lithotripsy is an established endourological modality. Ho:YAG laser have broadened the indications for ureteroscopic stone managements to include larger stone sizes throughout the whole upper urinary tract. Aim of current work is to assess efficacy and safety of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy during retrograde ureteroscopic management of ureteral calculi in different locations. MET...
متن کاملCase report: percutaneous balloon dilatation and ureteral stenting for tuberculous renal infundibular and ureteral strictures.
A 23-year-old woman developed progressive obstructive uropathy due to multiple renal infundibular and ureteral strictures while on drug treatment for renal tuberculosis. Communication between isolated upper and mid-pole calyces, and the ureter, was established by percutaneous guidewire manipulation. The strictures were successfully managed using percutaneous balloon catheter dilatation and uret...
