Retrospective analysis from June '89 to January '91 of 198 patients seen in our Hospital for ureteral lithiasis using 'in situ' ESWL as the first therapeutic choice. The number of sessions per calculus was 1.45, 68.7% cases receiving only one session. 84.2% calculi were resolved by ESWL, with associated instrumental manoeuvres in less than 15% cases. Our hospital's therapeutic algorithm for the 15.8% calculi where ESWL failed is presented. The conclusion is that 'in situ' shock wave extracorporeal lithotripsy represents a perfectly valid alternative for the treatment of ureteral lithiasis regardless its location.

D008096 Lithotripsy The destruction of a calculus of the kidney, ureter, bladder, or gallbladder by physical forces, including crushing with a lithotriptor through a catheter. Focused percutaneous ultrasound and focused hydraulic shock waves may be used without surgery. Lithotripsy does not include the dissolving of stones by acids or litholysis. Lithotripsy by laser is LITHOTRIPSY, LASER.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
