Discussion and Conclusion: According to our results, although the success rate of URS was higher in patients with proximal ureteral stones
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Introduction: While shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) was recommended as the first-line treatment method for proximal ureteral stones, today both SWL and ureterorenoscopy (URS) are the first-line treatment methods for proximal ureteral stones smaller than 10 mm in the European Urology Association’s Urolithiasis guidelines. recommended.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In the present study, we aimed to compare the effect of URS and SWL in proximal ureteral stones smaller than 10 mm.

Abstract
Introduction: While shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) was recommended as the first-line treatment method for proximal ureteral stones, today both SWL and ureterorenoscopy (URS) are the first-line treatment methods for proximal ureteral stones smaller than 10 mm in the European Urology Association’s Urolithiasis guidelines. recommended. In the present study, we aimed to compare the effect of URS and SWL in proximal ureteral stones smaller than 10 mm. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 87 patients with proximal ureteral Stones 0.05). The mean stone size of the patients was 7.8±1.3 mm and 6.8±1.5 mm in groups I and II, respectively (p0.05) (Table 1). Discussion and Conclusion: According to our results, although the success rate of URS was higher in patients with proximal ureteral stones
