Electrohydraulic lithotripsy, when performed blindly for ureteral calculi in the past, resulted in frequent ureteral perforation and, therefore, it was considered to be unsafe. A total of 33 patients from 5 institutions underwent electrohydraulic lithotripsy for ureteral calculi under direct vision. There were only 3 minor ureteral perforations treated by ureteral catheter drainage. All patients were free of stones after treatment and there were no long-term complications. Electrohydraulic lithotripsy by ureteroscopy is considered to be a safe and effective method for fragmentation and removal of large ureteral calculi. (J. Urol., 140: 957–958, 1988) |
