... with complete staghorn calculi as well as on patients with renal pelvic stones and simultaneous morphological obstruction. Partial staghorn calculi were operated on only after endoscopic treatment had failed. Small renal pelvic stones and ureteral stones were surgically removed only after extracorporeal shock...

... controversially discussed. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of ureteroscopy as an auxiliary measure after ESWL and its importance as an alternative therapeutic option in the treatment of distal ureteral stones. Between 1991 and 1994, 115 ureteroscopic procedures in 104 patients with ureteral...

... be removed either by direct extraction or electrohydraulic or ultrasound lithotripsy. The highest failure rates (25.6%) occurred in stones located in the upper ureter, the lowest failure rate (9.6%) resulted from treatment of lower ureteral stones. 3.4% complications were observed such as perforation...

...Nobumasa Fujimoto; Masahiro Kyo; Yasuji Ichikawa; Shunsuke Nagano A total of 157 ureteral stones in 150 patients were treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) using the Dornier lithotriptor MFL5000. Stones were treated in situ in 149 cases and with a double-J ureteral stent bypass...

...J. Vicente; J. Caparrós; J. Salvador; L. Parra; G. Rios We have performed, between May 1985 and December 1988, in situ lithotripsy in 100 consecutive cases of primary ureteral stones, using electrohydraulic lithotripsy in 33 patients and ultrasonic lithotripsy in the remaining 67. After using...

...F. Recker; P. Jaeger; G. Alund; K. Konstantinidis; H. Knoenagel; D. Hauri From April 1985 to March 1987 181 patients with ureteral stones were treated by means of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Management for proximal calculi changed from in situ ESWL treatment (group n = 27...

...A. Saita; A. Bonaccorsi; F. Marchese; S.V. Condorelli; M. Motta Objectives: We evaluated the effect of nifedipine associated with prednisolone in ureteral stone passage.

..., a very similar device, the electrokinetic lithotripter (EKL), was described and has recently become available to us. In this paper we compare the clinical efficacy and features of these two ballistic lithotripters in the ureteroscopic treatment of ureteral stones. Materials and Methods: Thirty-eight...

... the records of 1,082 consecutive patients with ureteral stones who were treated with URS with or without auxiliary extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for stone fragments. The efficacy was estimated using the stone-free rate and efficiency quotient (EQ). Results: The stone-free rates were 79.0, 90.4...
