Ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy of impacted ureteral calculi.
INTRODUCTION This work evaluates the results of ureteroscopic treatment of impacted ureteral stones with a pneumatic lithotripter. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 1997 to May 2002, 42 patients with impacted ureteral stones were treated by retrograde ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy. Twenty-eight patients were female and 14 were male. The stone size ranged from 5 to 20 mm. The ureteral sit...
متن کاملUreteroscopic Management of Ureteral Calculi: Pneumatic versus Holmium: YAG Laser Lithotripsy
Background: Among various intracorporeal lithotripters, pneumatic lithotripter has become the widely used tool for the treatment of urinary stones. Recently the holmium: YAG laser has been used with a wide range of potential urological applications, including intracorporeal lithotripsy of urinary calculi. Purpose: Compare the effectiveness and complications of treatment for ureteric stones betw...

PURPOSE We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy with a semirigid ureteroscope for ureteral calculi in a prospective cohort of 697 patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy was performed with a semirigid ureteroscope in 697 inpatients between September 2002 and January 2006. Calculi were located in the distal ureter in 382 patients (54.8%...
متن کاملEvaluation of ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy for ureteral stones
Objective: To evaluate success rate, auxiliary procedures and complications associated with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy of ureteric stones. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among 100 patients between May 2011 and July 2013. The mean age of the patients was 32 ± 3 years.

متن کاملExtracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and transureteral lithotripsy in the treatment of impacted lower ureteral calculi.
INTRODUCTION We compared the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) with ureteroscopy followed by transureteral lithotripsy (TUL) for the treatment of impacted distal ureteral calculi. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 96 patients with solitary impacted distal ureteral calculi were assigned into 2 groups of treatment with SWL (42 patients) and TUL (54 patients) with a 6.9-F se...
