Abstract

This study determined the predictive factors for the success of holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy in ureteral calculi management. This prospective cohort study was conducted from January 2013 to May 2015 at Kardinah Hospital, Tegal, Central Java. 50 patients diagnosed with proximal (13, 26%) and distal (37, 74%) ureteral stones were included in this study. Stone burden, duration of operation, and number of ureteral calculi were predictive factors for the success of holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy in ureteral calculi management.
