Abstract
In order to evaluate the impact of endourological techniques and extracorporeal lithotripsy on the management of ureteral calculi, we reviewed the charts of 838 patients requiring hospitalization for this pathology from 1982 till 1987. 314 patients were managed conservatively and 524 required intervention therapy: 52 with blind endoscopic techniques, 93 with open surgery, 122 with retrograde ureteroscopy, 168 with percutaneous extraction and 92 with ESWL. Evolution of the therapeutic strategy is discussed and our present approach to ureteral stone management is outlined.
