Abstract
Introduction: We assessed the effectiveness of URS-SM procedure for ureteral stones located in different parts of ureter and to determine outcomes in terms of success rate, complications, and operation time.
Methods: After obtaining approval of the Institutional Clinical Board of urology, we reviewed data of consecutive 102 patients treated at our Urology Department with URSSM procedure in cohort study January 2023-May 2023.
Results: There were 44 (43,2%) men and 58 (56,8%) women with a mean age of 43.7 (range 7-78) years old. Most patients had stone on left side 46 ptts (52%), 39 ptts. on right side (38,2%) and on both sides in 10 ptts. (9.8%). The overall success rate after session of URSSMs was 87,3%. Postoperative complications we had only in one case, urosepsis in a diabetic old man (75 years). Operation time was 36 (± 13) min.
Conclusions: The URS-SM procedure is an effective treatment with a low rate of complications. Keyword: URS-SM, ureter stones, pneumatic device.
