Abstract
Objective: To report our ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy experiences in the treatment of symptomatic ureter stones in pregnants which do not respond to conservative treatmentMethods: A total of 6 pregnants aged between 22-33 years in second or third trimester were studied. Holmium-YAG laser lithotripsy was performed with 6.5 F semirigid uretroscope.Results: The diagnosis of ureter stone was made with abdominal ultrasonography in 5 patients and with magnetic resonance in one patient. Adequate stone fragmentation was performed in 2 mid-ureter and 4 distal-ureter stones. J stent was applied in one patient after the fragmentation process. The mean operation time was 24.8 ± 10.0 minutes after the entry of bladder with ureteroscope under spinal anesthesia. No urologic, anesthetic or obstetric complication was seen and all patients gave healthy birth at term.Conclusion: Fine calibrated ureteroscopes for the treatment of ureter stones in pregnants are fast and effective treatment modalities which decrease the operation time and remove difficulties in entering the ureter.
