Abstract :

Urinary tract stones are one of the most common diseases found in the field of urology. There is various choice of management of ureteral stones. Two minimally invasive surgical procedures commonly performed on patients with ureteral stones are extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy (URS). Ureteroscopy is a method of managing ureteric stones using the principle of endoscopy. Current clinical trials have found that effectivity and stone free rates of ureteroscopy are comparatively better compared to shock-wave lithotripsy with less side effects. This was an observational descriptive study using a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted at Dr. M. Jamil Tertiary Hospital, Padang, during the period of 2017-2018. The subject of the study was every patient diagnosed with ureteral stones who underwent ureteroscopy and lasertripsy (URS) in Dr. M. Jamil Tertiary Hospital. The variables measured were age, sex, ureteral stone size, stone-free rate (SFR). SFR in patients with ureteral stones undergoing ureterorenoscopy lasertripsy was found to be 78,8%. SFR was found to be significantly different by stone length (p = 0.01), width (p <0.01), and hydronephrosis grade (p = 0.01). The stone-free rate was correlated with stone size and hydronephrosis grade. Further research with a longer study period and larger sample size needs to be carried out.
