Ureteral stone management: emerging concepts

J E Lingeman et al. J Urol. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

A total of 206 procedures was performed on 193 patients with ureteral calculi. The success rate was 62 per cent for stones proximal to the pelvic brim and 94 per cent for stones distal to the pelvic brim (87 per cent success over-all). Of the procedures 61 were done for fragments lodged in the ureter following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Ureteroscopy was done in 147 cases. Our current management concepts (including extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) for proximal and distal ureteral calculi are presented.
