summary

13 patients with a stone in the upper ureter and 9 patients with a stone in the pyelo-ureteral
junction (P.U.J.) underwent Percutaneous lithotripsy. Indications for using this method of treatment
were as follows: no possibility of performing ESWL (17 patients), lack of effectiveness of the ESWL
2 patients), coexistence of ureteral stones and multiple renal stones on the same side (3 patients
The Percutaneous treatment was successful in all patients with (P.U.J.) and in 9 patients (69%) with
stones in the upper ureter.
Percutaneous removal of stones from the P.U.J or the upper ureter is indicated in case of ESWL
failure. The Percutaneous surgery may be considered the method of choice only in patients with
stones of the upper ureter and multiple renal stones on the same side.
