Abstract:
Ureteroscopic stone extraction is popular method for the management of ureteral stone after innovative development of rigid ureteroscope. A sequential analysis of the clinical study revealed that during the first 39 cases success rate was 56.4 %. Within the latter 39 cases success rate was 92.3%. Complication included ureteral perforation in 2 cases (2.7% ), fever more than 38 degrees C in 2 (2.7%). Although E.S.W.L. is the mainstream of method of management for ureteral stone, ureteroscopic stone extraction is choice for urologist where E.S.W.L. is not available or when patient refuses E.S.W.L.
