There are many treatment options for ureteral stones, including medications, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, laparoscopic lithotripsy and ureterotomy (commonly known as “open surgery”). For small stones less than 4-6 mm in length, medication can be used; extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is suitable for most patients with less complicated ureteral stones; percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is suitable for complicated upper ureteral stones that are too close to the kidney; and laparoscopic and ureterotomy lithotripsy are generally used as a supplement to medication, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopic lithotripsy when they fail. The laparoscopic lithotomy and ureterotomy are generally used as a complementary treatment after the failure of drugs, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy. Ureteroscopic Holmium laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive treatment for ureteroscopic stones that has emerged in recent years and is being rapidly promoted. Holmium laser lithotripsy is the preferred treatment for lower and middle ureteral stones, alongside extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Holmium laser lithotripsy not only helps patients to avoid the pain caused by open surgery, but also can deal with stones under direct vision, causing less damage to patients without skin incisions, with high success rate, short hospital stay and fast and safe postoperative recovery, etc. Generally, patients can be discharged from the hospital 1-2 days after surgery. In theory, ureteroscopic lithotripsy can be used to remove stones from any part of the ureter. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy can still be used to remove stones from the ureter if the positioning of the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is obstructed, if the treatment fails, or if the stones form a stone street after lithotripsy. The higher the stone is located in the ureter and the closer it is to the kidney, the easier it is to be flushed back into the kidney during surgery, resulting in a lower success rate of surgery. Clinically, ureteroscopic lithotripsy is more suitable for middle and lower ureteral stones, stones that cannot be shown on X-ray, upper ureteral stones where extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is ineffective, and “stone street” caused by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for kidney stones.
