Summary

With advances in endourological equipment, minimally invasive procedures have been found to be sufficient for the treatment of ureteral stones in children. The investigators aimed to evaluate the stone-free rate and complications related to the procedure and to compare it with the period when their experience were limited by presenting their patients with ureteral stones treated by ureteroscopy (URS) and holmium YAG laser in the last three years after their 15-year routine endourological practice.

The investigators retrospectively compared 54 cases treated with ureteroscopy (URS) for ureteral stones between 2009-2011, the first three years of our endourological interventions in children, and 78 cases treated with URS for ureteral stones between 2020-2022, the last three years of their 15-year endourological experience, from hospital records. Demographic data, stone-free rates, number of procedures and recorded complications were evaluated in both groups.
