Abstract
Rigid ureteroscopy has been performed 54 times in 49 patients with ureteral stones. In 72% of the cases stones were removed or desintegrated with the ultrasound or electrohydraulic probe. Best results were obtained in the pelvic ureter (96,5% success). In the lumber ureter only 56% success was obtained. Complications were observed in 15% of the cases, however only one complication necessitated an immediate open surgical operation.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
