| Popis: | We report our experience with pulsed dye laser lithotripsy in the treatment of 100 ureteric stones in 95 patients over a 14-month period from July 1989 to September 1990. The overall rate of successful stone fragmentation was 97%. There was a low incidence of minor complications--mild haematuria, ureteric colic and urinary tract infection; ureteric perforation occurred in only 3 patients, all of whom were successfully treated conservatively. Pulsed dye laser lithotripsy is a safe and effective mode of treatment for ureteric stones. Current indications for laser fragmentation of stones are ureteric stones, impacted pelviureteric junction stones and Steinstrasse. |
