Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) in laparoscopic ureterolithotomy.MethodsLUS was utilized in laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for 7 cases of ureterolith to locate the ureter and stone.ResultsLUS demonstrated the relationship of the ureter to the adjacent structures and guided the dissection of the ureter in all the 7 patients and precisely localized the position of calculi.The stone could be touched by atraumatic clamps in 5 cases.LUS-demonstrated localizations of the ureter and calculi were verified on laparoscopic ureterotomy in the other 2.The mean operating time for LUS was 14 min (ranging from 9 to 20 min ).ConclusionsLUS is a real adjuvant means for locating the ureter and stone.
