Abstract :

 

Abstract– This study aimed to evaluate the ability of radiological signs to predict the presence of impaction in patients with proximal ureteric calculi non invasively. We retrospectively analysed 74 patients with impacted proximal ureteric calculi who underwent URSL/PCNL between September 2017 and August 2018. Both clinical and radiological data of all cases were well evaluated on this aspect. Certain clinical and CT based parameters were assessed. There was statistically significant correletion between ureteral wall thickness, patients age, transverse diameter of the stone, proximal ureteric diameter, renal pelvic diameter , duration of renal colic attacks and stone impaction. Prediction of impaction will be helpful in reducing painful waiting periods in such patients and tailoring timely appropriate treatment.
