Abstract :

 Introduction:– Urinary stones have been found in mankind since ancient times, and the earliest recorded cases were or kidney and urinary bladder stones detected in Egyptian mummies dated to 4800 BC. The damaging effect of the stone is the result of obstructive nephropathy with dilatation of the pelvi–caliceal system or urinary tract consequently leading to urinary stasis and severe infection. This may resulted ultimately the fiosis and non–functioning kidney. Objectives:– To evaluate patients with ureteric calculi with regards to the incidence, age, sex, clinical presentation, site, side, management with ureterorenoscpy and their complications. Methods:– A prospective study carried out by Department of Surgery at NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE Medical College, and Hospital MEERUT for a period of 1 year. 50 Patients were selected after they were diagnosed as having ureteric calculi. The patients were treated by URETERORENOSCOPY and the outcome was monitored. Statistical analysis of the data was done for obtaining results. Results:– The majority of the patients were males with peak age group in the second and third decade accounting for 70% of the cases. Pain in abdomen or loin tenderness was the most common presenting symptom, seen in 100% cases. 2 patients had bilateral calculi, 27 patients had calculus on right side, 21 had on left. 68% of the stones in lower ureter, 28% Mid ureter whereas only 4% was present in the upper ureter. URS was performed as surgical intervention in all cases with no major complication. Conclusion:– With the advancement in minimal invasive techniques the requirement for open surgery is decreasing and endourological procedures are becoming the means of surgical intervention. Complications are minimal with surgical expertise for endourological procedures.
