“…These results compare favorably with other reports even for stones in the lower ureter. [2][3][4][5] The clinical outcome of ESWL treatment of radiolucent stones did not appear to differ from that of radioopaque ones. Intravenous contrast medium administration overcomes the problem of reduced visibility by indirectly depicting the localization of the stone.…”

“…The success rate of ESWL for distal ureteral stones varies greatly in different reports, with stone-free rates from 53%-96%, and retreatment rates of 10-30%. 2 The choice of URS as a first-line therapy for distal ureteral calculi relies on the higher success rate, less fluoroscopy time and time to achieve a stone-free state. 2,4,13,14 Ureteroscopy is also less costly than ESWL for stones at all ureteral locations.…”

“…ÜRS ile üreteral perforasyon ve üreteral darlık gelişimi sırasıyla %0-4 ile %0-2 arasındadır 8,10,13,18 . Bizim çalışmamızda, ÜRS uygulanan üç (%2,7) hastada parsiyel üreteral perforasyon, dört (%3,7) hastada taşın böbreğe migrasyonu, 10 (%9,2) hastada ateş ve yedi (%6,4) hastada idrar yolu enfeksiyonu geliştiği görüldü.…”

“…Üreter taşlarının tedavisinde açık veya laparoskopik litotomi, üreterorenoskopik litotripsi (ÜRS), vücut dışı şok dalga litotripsi (ESWL) ve perkütan antegrad ÜRS günümüzde sıklıkla kullanılan yöntem-lerdir. Literatürde ÜRS, ESWL'ye göre daha etkili bir yöntem olarak ileri sürülse de, distal üreter taşlarının tedavisi için ilk seçenek olarak hem ESWL'yi hem de ÜRS'yi öneren çalışmalar bulunmaktadır [8][9][10] . Distal üreter taşlarının tedavisinde ÜRS ve ESWL yüksek başarı ve düşük komplikasyon oranlarıyla etkin ve güvenli yöntemler olarak önerilmişlerdir [8][9][10] .…”
