“…It is the most important that LU has the highest SFR compared to SWL and URS for proximal ureteral calculi [ 7 ]. According to our data and other published high volume studies, the advantage is obvious ( Table 2 ) [ 2 , 4 , 13 – 23 ]. The procedure of LU is more complex than SWL and URS, and the operating duration is longer than SWL and URS [ 3 ].…”

Objectives. To summarize our experience of retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for ureteral calculi and evaluate the safety and efficiency of this procedure. Methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 197 patients with proximal ureteral calculi who accepted retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy from June 2005 to June 2014. Results. All procedures were performed successfully and the mean operating time and estimated blood loss were 87 min and 64 mL. The clearance rate was 98.5% and the rates of urine leak and ureteral stricture were 2.5% and 1.0%. Conclusions. Retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy is a safe and effective procedure for patients with complex stones or anatomic abnormalities, and, with experience of high volume series, it is also a reasonable choice as the primary treatment for such selected patients.

“…Management of patients with urinary lithiasis includes minimally invasive procedures as well as non-invasive modalities such as SWL, thereby reducing the need for open surgery [11]. SWL has been reported to be optimal for proximal stones of the ureter, with antracarporeal lithotripsy being safe for these patients [12].…”

The goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness and complications of ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (URS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) in the management of patients with proximal ureteral stones. Methods In this trial, 150 patients presenting with proximal ureteral stones at the Department of Urology of Nishter Hospital Multan from November 2018 to November 2019 were allocated 1:1 to undergo URS or SWL. The presence of stone fragments <4 mm on follow-up was regarded as being stone free. The study outcomes included stone-free rates after first, second, and third treatment sessions and stone retropulsion into the kidneys. Results A total of 75 patients each underwent URS and SWL. The mean procedure times for SWL and URS were 61.61± 3.21 and 85.01±6.75 minutes, respectively (P=0.000), and the mean numbers of procedures were 1.51±0.49 and 1.01±0.42, respectively (P=0.000). Stone-free rates after the first, second, and third sessions of SWL were 64%, 77.3%, and 94.7%, respectively, whereas stone-free rates after the first, second, and third sessions of URS were 86.7%, 92%, and 100%, respectively. Rates of stone retropulsion into the kidneys in the SWL and URS groups were 0% and 6.7%, respectively (P=0.000). Conclusion Compared with SWL, URS had significantly higher stone-free rates in patients with proximal ureteral stones. Treatment costs and hospital stay were lower in the SWL group, whereas complication rates were comparable.

“…Each of these modalities have high efficacy when used for the appropriate indication both in adults and children. [3,4] Preferences of patients and surgeons play a pivotal role in the decision of choosing one or the other procedure. [3,4] For treating proximal ureteral stones, SWL is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed as an outdoor patient procedure, however it has disadvantages as well, such as a high retreatment rate, long treatment time, and poor patient compliance in some cases.…”

Laparoscopic Transperitoneal Ureterolithotomy: A Single-Center Experience

Abstract: Laparoscopic transperitoneal ureterolithotomy is a safe and effective treatment modality for skilled surgeons and a convenient option for patients. Challenges, such as lower ureteral stones, redo cases, and antegrade double J stent insertion, can be overcome by experience.
