Description
Yong Sun Choi, Samuel Ryan Sorkhi, Hyuk Jin Cho, and their co-authors compare two operations for large stones stuck high in the ureter, the tube from kidney to bladder. One route threads a flexible scope up from below and breaks the stone with a laser. The other reaches through the kidney from the back, in a modern variant that leaves no drainage tube.
Reviewing about sixty cases of each, they found the two routes cleared the stones at nearly the same high rate by three months. Hospital stays and complication rates also matched. The scope route took longer in the operating room but left patients with less pain afterward. The authors judge both approaches sound choices for these large stones.
