2. Intraoperative precautions: For extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy operation, the patient is awake and should cooperate with the doctor’s operation.
3. Postoperative precautions: After the operation, patients should drink more water, more than 3000ml per day. Urine volume should reach about 2000ml, which is conducive to promoting the discharge of stones. Pay attention to the color and quantity of urine, and use gauze to filter the urine and collect the stone residue, so as to facilitate the physician’s analysis and guidance. Notify the physician immediately when symptoms such as lower back pain occur to see if there is any extravasation of urine, etc.
When ureteral stones require lithotripsy, they should be treated in a regular hospital and under the guidance of a physician.
