Evaluation of pneumatic versus holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy for impacted ureteral stones

Abstract: Our comparative study has shown that the use of Ho:YAG as an intracorporeal lithotripter during ureteroscopic management of impacted ureteral stones is highly efficient with high success rates, regardless of the stone location.

“…Optimal management of urinary tract stones located in the proximal part of the ureter has been controversial for a long period of time, with the clinical introduction of minimally invasive treatment approaches making the decisionmaking process more complex than ever [1][2][3]. Bringing the patient(s) to a completely stone-free status with limited or no morbidity is the ultimate goal, and to achieve that, in addition to stone (size and location) and patientrelated factors (quality of life, length of hospital stay, and analgesic requirement), the surgeon's experience and the availability of particular technologies are the crucial factors that should be considered on an individual basis.…”

“…Laser lithotripsy was also more efficient than pneumatic lithotripsy with a high success rate in management of impacted ureter stones [10]. In early comparison series of LU with URS, pneumatic lithotripsies were used in most of the URS procedures [3,11].…”

“…Binbay ve ark.ları URS litotripside toplam başarı oranını pnömotik litotriptör kullanımında %80, Ho:YAG lazer kullanımında %97.5 olarak rapor etmişlerdir (6). Değirmenci ve ark.ları pnömotik ve Ho:YAG lazer kullanımını karşılaştırdıkları bir diğer çalışmalarında başarı oranlarını pnömotik için distalde %91.7, proksimalde %67.9 olarak ve Ho:YAG lazer için distalde %96.8 ve proksimalde %94.4 olarak rapor etmişlerdir (7).…”
