In this study, we showed different success rates for SWL and TUL because of the larger size of the stones. We achieved a success rate of 56.25% in the first attempt in the TUL group, and the overall success rate (after the second TUL) was 78.12%.

2019年7月6日 · In this retrospective investigation, we compared the outcome of the stone basket, the stone cone and the Ho:YAG laser in TUL of ureteral calculi.

Miniaturization of endoscopic devices in urology and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has revolutionized the management of ureteral stones. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and results of laser versus pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) with semi-rigid ureteroscope in a randomized prospective clinical trial in removing stones.

Rigid & flexible ureteroscopy and holmium : YAG laser lithotripsy achieved excellent results of treatment for urolithiasis. TUL gave a high stone-free rate with low complication rates. In Japan, where shock wave lithotripters are widely used, trend of …

Introduction: Using a safety wire during trans-ureteral lithotripsy (TUL) might minimize ureteral injuries. Conversely, others suggest safety wire itself may increase the risk of ureteral injuries that its routine use is not mandatory in all cases.

2012年6月20日 · A review of the related medical journals indicates that there is no definite evidence-based option for managing large proximal ureteral stones, although many procedures such as transureteral...

TUL is a safe and successful method in managing lower ureteral stones. A total of 100 patients with lower ureter stones received transurethral ureterolithotripsy (TUL) using a pulsed dye laser and/or a pneumatic lithotriptor.

2024年9月16日 · Transurethral lithotomy (TUL) is a procedure during which doctors remove stones in ureters. In general, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is suitable for upper or renal ureteral stones, but it is sometimes not suitable for dealing with middle or lower ureteral stones.

2024年1月1日 · Transurethral lithotomy procedure removes stones in the ureters. The doctor will use a thin scope to search for the stones and to remove stones. In this procedure there is no need for cutting in your skin. The scope will be passed through your urethra and then ureter to reach to your kidneys by your doctor.

Based on the results of our study, such as the decreased duration of TUL by holmium laser (easy and fast removal of stone), the higher success rate of TUL by holmium laser and less need for conversion into ESWL after TUL, we concluded that propofol might have a possible effect on decreasing the tonicity of the ureteral wall.
