Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for bilateral ureteral stones with renal colic in emergency.
METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 86 patients suffered with sudden renal colic due to bilateral ureteral stones and treated with ESWL between January 2005 and January 2009.
RESULTSThe success rate was 74.4% after a single ESWL session, and the overall success rate was 82.6%. Significant difference in stone length was observed between successful group and failed group (P<0.01). The stone position did not produce significant impact on the outcome of the treatment (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONESWL is an effective treatment modality in emergency for small-length and short-term obstruction bilateral ureteral stones with remal colic.
