Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy in the Reverse Trendelenburg Position for Upper Ureteral Stones

Turkey (Türkiye)167 participantsStarted 2019-04-01

Plain-language summary

This study investigated a previously unassessed operating position for ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy in patients with upper ureteral stone. The reverse Trendelenburg position can reduce migration and improve the stone free rate (SFR). Moreover, less utilization of flexible ureteroscope and hospital stay in reverse Trendelenburg position can reduce the medical cost. Therefore, it can be safely used as an optional surgical method for the treatment of upper ureteral stones.
