Abstract
Objective To explore the value of vaginal probe transrectal ultrasound in diagnosis of ureteral calculi.Method Ureteral calculi was examined with the application of abdomen and transrectal ultrasonography.Ureter dilatation,part of calculi and its size and shape were observed.Results Examination rates of abdomen ultrasonography and transrectal ultrasonography were 50.56%(45/89)and 95.51%(85/89),respectively.The largest calculi was 11 mm×9 mm and the smallest one was 2 mm×4 mm.Among them,there were 40 left ureter patients and 45 right ureter patients.Four patients were not explored any calculi echo.Conclusions Examination rate of transrectal ultrasonography is higher than that of abdomen ultrasonography.Transrectal ultrasonography is a good supplemental way to examine ureteral calculi.
