Causal Analysis of the Failure for the Ureteroscopic Extraction
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Ureteroscopic extraction has been used for the management of the ureteral stone, especially lower ureteral stone. During the last 2 years we performed ureteroscopy for removal of mid or distal ureteral stones in 63 patients. The causes of failure
consisted of 4 unskillful instrumental manipulations, 4 migrations of the stone, 3 failure of dilating ureter, 3 failures of access to the stone & 2 severe bleedings due to ureteral avulsion The failure rate decreased from 33.3% for 30 prodedures
done
the first one year to 18.7% for 33 procedures done in the next one year. We believe that the failure rate of ureteral stone removal will be consistently decreased with experience.
