Abstract
Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy of Stone Cone under ureteroscopic lithotripsy and its clinical value in the treatment of ureteral stone. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 30 cases of ureteral stone was made in the patients treated with ureteroscopic lithotripsy combined with Stone Cone, and holmium laser or EMS from June 2014 to June 2015 in our hospital. Results The mean surgical time for all the patients that underwent surgery was (20±11) min. Ureteral stone was successfully removed in 29 cases, with the stone removal rate of 96.7%. There was 1 case of stone migration to renal pelvis following ureteroscopic lithotripsy. No cases of ureteral laceration or perforation or other complications were found in all the patients following treatment. Conclusions In ureteroscopic lithotripsy, Stone Cone could obviously decrease the rate of stone migration of ureteral stone and increase stone-free rate. Key words: Stone Cone; Ureteral stone; Ureteroscopic lithotripsy; Stone-free rate
