Ureteric Stone Surgery in Practice

British Journal of Urology, 1987
Summary— From 1983 to 1986 140 patients underwent surgery for ureteric calculus. In approximately 30%“blind” basket extraction was considered appropriate and continued to be effective.

CONTEMPORARY MANAGEMENT OF URETERAL STONES

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1997
The management of ureteral stones has undergone revolutionary changes in the past 15 years. The parallel advances in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous and retrograde endoscopic access to the collecting system, and intracorporeal lithotripsy devices almost completely have supplanted the need for a traditional ureterolithotomy.

The effect of hydroxyprogesterone on ureteral stones

International Urology and Nephrology, 1988

Twenty-four patients with ureteral calculi, therefore, were given an intramuscular injection of 250 mg hydroxyprogesterone in order to facilitate the discharge of the stones. Irrespective of the duration of symptoms there was a potential effect of treatment

Transurethral Ureteral Stone Manipulation

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1983
Most urologists use stone manipulation at some time for the treatment of ureteral stones. About 40 to 50 per cent of ureteral calculi that require surgery are retrievable by stone manipulation. The procedure has a remarkably good success rate (about 80 per cent) and a very low morbidity rate (1 per cent or less).

Giant ureteral stone associated with partial ureteral duplication

Radiographic intervention revealed a right partial ureteral duplication with a giant stone in size 9.6 cm in the ureteral limb draining the non-functioning upper pole of the right kidney.

Multiple Ureteral Tubation for Stones

Journal of Urology, 1983
Multiple ureteral tubation is a technique for removal of ureteral calculi, involving 2 to 9 ureteral catheters that are left indwelling for 12 hours to 10 days. In 317 patients the technique has been applied for 7 upper third, 47 middle third and 263 lower third ureteral calculi, ranging in size up to 2.2 cm. in diameter.

Management of Impacted Ureteral Stones

European Urology Focus
Impacted ureteral stones are a challenge because of the inherent nature of the condition and the complexities of intervention. Imaging studies and measurement of ureteral wall thickness can aid in preparing for intervention and preoperative patient counseling. Diligent management and appropriate knowledge of lasers, scopes, and disposable equipment can
