EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE LITHOTRIPSY OF DISTAL URETERAL STONES AT CAN THO CENTRAL GENERAL HOSPITAL IN 2023-2024
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is a minimally invasive and highly effective method for treating distal ureteral stones. Current treatment recommendations worldwide note that if the size of the distal ureteral stone is ≤ 10mm, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is as effective as ureteroscopy. Objectives: To evaluate the results of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of distal ureteral stones at Can Tho Central General Hospital in 2023-2024. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 47 patients with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of distal ureteral stones from 01/2023 to the end of 01/2024. Results: The average age of the study group was 49.2 ± 9.4 years old. The most common symptom admitted to the hospital is renal colic accounting for 48.94%. There are 44.1% of stones with a radiopaque level of 800-1000 Hounsfield units, 70.6% of stones with a size of 7-10mm, and 64.7% of hydronephrosis level I. The success rate is 93.62% and 14.89% of complications extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy. Conclusion: Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy treats distal ureteral stones when the stone size is ≤ 10mm with high treatment effectiveness and safety.
