No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of antegrade flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy in treating upper ureteric stones \>10 mm in maximum dimension and impacted upper ureteric stones irrespective of size in comparison to retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy and evaluate feasibility, adverse events, hospital stay and cost benefit of both techniques

Conditions

  • Upper Ureteric Stones

Interventions

PROCEDURE

antegrade flexible ureteroscopy for group A

The antegrade approach with this stone size will further prove the superior stone free rate compared with the retrograde approach, widen the indication for the antegrade approach and prove the more favorable perioperative safety profile

PROCEDURE

retrograde flexible ureteroscopy For group B

he antegrade approach with this stone size will further prove the superior stone free rate compared with the retrograde approach, widen the indication for the antegrade approach and prove the more favorable perioperative safety profile
