URETERAL STONES CLINICAL GUIDELINES PANEL SUMMARY REPORT ON THE MANAGEMENT OF URETERAL CALCULI

The Journal of Urology · 1997 · Vol. 158(5) · pp. 1915–1921

Abstract

Most ureteral stones will pass spontaneously. Those that do not can be removed by either shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy. Traditional blind basket extraction, without fluoroscopic control and guide wires, is not recommended. Open surgery is appropriate as a salvage procedure or in certain unusual circumstances.
