Abstract

Lower ureteral stones are frequently encountered urinary problems leading to a wide range of symptoms, and due to their multiple methods of management depending on their size and impact on the upper urinary tracts, it is necessary to study the management of this type of stones . The study was conducted at Al-Mowasat University Hospital on 121 patients during the period from 1/3/2016 to 1/3/2019 in which two main methods in managing lower ureteral stones are studied: ESWL and URS. The study showed the following results in the group of patients treated with ESWL, 62.5% the rate of removal of stones from the first attempt, 8% required re-treatment, 81% eliminated the stones after 1 month and 91% after 3 Months, 9% needed other treatments (URS and open) with a relatively acceptable complications rate (16%). For patients treated with URS the results were as follows , 4% dispose of stones from the first attempt, 5% required re-treatment, 91% dispose of the stones completely after 1 month, 96% after 3 months, 3.5% needed other treatments (ESWL and open) and complications rate (21%) .

Conclusion: URS is more effective but more complications than ESWL in the management of lower ureteral stones.
