Stones in the lower ureter can be treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgery at any time. Generally, stones in the lower ureter less than 6mm can be treated without extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, stones of 6-10mm can be lithotripped by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and stones over 1cm can be tried by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. However, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is often difficult to break the stones or cannot be eliminated after breaking the stones. It is recommended that patients with more than 2 consecutive lithotripsy without any change in the stones should undergo surgery. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy does not require hospitalization, it is an outpatient operation. After the completion of shock wave lithotripsy treatment, patients should come to the hospital for review at intervals of about 7-10 days to dynamically observe the situation of stone removal. Laser lithotripsy or ureteroscopic lithotripsy requires hospitalization and requires semi-body anesthesia or general anesthesia for the procedure to break up the stones and remove them for the purpose of healing. After lithotripsy, a ureteral stent tube is placed in the body, which is removed one month after the procedure and is fully recovered afterwards.
