Transurethral ureteroscopy (TUURS) for the management of ureteral stones was performed in 102 patients. Primary ureteroscopy was performed in 57 patients while in 20 cases the procedure was used for stone manipulation prior to ESWL and in 18 cases after ESWL treatment. In 7 cases, insertion of the instrument was impossible. The overall success rate was 89 per cent (85/95). Success rate in the lower ureter was 93 per cent, in the middle ureter 84 per cent, and in the upper ureter 80 per cent. There were four complications (4%) and open operation was required in 3 patients only (3%). The up-to-date ureteroscopic results suggest that ureteroscopy should be the procedure of choice in the treatment of lower ureteral calculi and a valuable alternative in the treatment of upper ureteral calculi.
102例患者接受了经尿道输尿管镜检查（TUURS）以处理输尿管结石。57例患者接受了初次输尿管镜检查，20例患者在体外冲击波碎石术（ESWL）前使用该手术进行结石处理，18例患者在ESWL治疗后使用。7例患者无法插入器械。总体成功率为89%（85/95）。输尿管下段成功率为93%，中段为84%，上段为80%。有4例并发症（4%），仅3例患者（3%）需要开放手术。最新的输尿管镜检查结果表明，输尿管镜检查应是治疗输尿管下段结石的首选方法，也是治疗输尿管上段结石的一种有价值的替代方法。
