“…Therefore, new techniques are needed to understand preoperative (pre-op) impacted stone formation. [2][3][4] Studies have been reported to predict the success of ESWL and spontaneous stone passage by measuring the wall thickness of the ureter where the stone is shown by computed tomography. 5,6 In this study, we aimed to study the effect of the maximum wall thickness in the stone region, and the average wall thickness on the success of URS.…”

Objective: The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of average and maximum ureteral wall thicknesses measured by computed tomography before the operation on ureteroscopy results.Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted with 103 patients who underwent ureteroscopy for ureteral stones between July and December 2021. The maximum ureteral wall thickness in the region of the ureteral stone and the average of the ureteral wall thicknesses measured from the 3-6-9-12 lines were calculated by non-contrast computed tomography. The operation time, residual stone, double j insertion status, and intraoperative complication status were examined according to the average ureteral wall thickness and maximum wall thickness.Results: Of the 103 patients included in the study, 77 were male, and 26 were female. The mean age of the patients was 43.83±15.11 years. The mean stone length was 10.76±3.84 mm. The average ureteral wall thickness was 3.81±1.24 mm, while the maximum ureteral wall thickness was 4.9±1.8 mm. It was found that as the maximum, and average ureteral wall thickness increased, the operation time, residual stone, double insertion rate, and post-ureteroscopic lesion scale grade increased (p<0.05).Conclusion: Maximum and average ureteral wall thicknesses are predictive factors for ureteroscopy results.
