Predictors of success performing ureterolitotripsy.

Urolithiasis is one of the most common diseases seen by urologists. In 28% patients with kidney stones, disease symptomatic. The benefits ureteral stone extraction include minimal invasiveness, a shorter postoperative recovery time, and favourable safety profile. Aim: to compare evaluate relationship between density ureter, calculus, its localization value creatinine level predicting success ureterolithoextraction. Materials methods. total, 125 lithotripsy procedures were performed (42 in women 83 men). Initially, divided into two groups. first group, was 97 patients. second group included 28 stent placement, without lithotripsy. percentage terms, increase mean calculus size groups (10%) less significant than ureter under (65%). Results. There no residence time ureter. However, there anatomical narrowing which may affect procedure. Elevated levels initial placement indicate impaired urine passage from kidney. Conclusions. Routine measurement during MSCT be an additional parameter determining surgical treatment method.
