Abstract

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect and safety of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL) and ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy(URSL)in the treatment of distal ureteral calculi.Methods Clinical data of 200 cases(105 with ESWL,95 with URSL)for the treatment of distal ureteral calculi were analyzed.Results In the ESWL group,the single success rate for the lithotripsy was 61.9 %(65/105) while the rate was 94.7%(90/95)in the URSL group.The calculus clearance rate in the ESWL group was 67.6%(71/105)four weeks after the operation,meanwhile the rate was 97.8%(88/90)in the URSL group.The difference had great significance(P0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of distal ureteral calculi,URSL has a better therapeutic effect than ESWL.
