A Prospective Evaluation of the Association of Ureteral Wall Thickness With Intraoperative Stone Impaction in Ureteroscopy.

Background and objective In this study, we aimed to analyze the association of ureteral wall thickness (UWT) measured on non-contrast CT (NCCT) with stone impaction as found in ureteroscopy (URS). Materials and methods We analyzed 43 patients who underwent URS and pneumatic/laser lithotripsy for ureteric stones from May to November 2022. The UWT was measured by an experienced radiologist on NCCT.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) Outcome Based on CT Scan and Patient Parameters Using ESWL Score.

Objective: To prospectively evaluate ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) outcomes and validate ESWL Score.

Study Design: An observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: The Aga Khan University Hospital, from January 2021 to December 2021.
