Abstract:

Introduction: Urolithiasis denotes formation of stone in the urinary tract; it may be in the kidney, ureter or in the bladder. Urinary stones are considered as a very common cause of morbidity affecting about 5-15% of population. Apart from conservative treatment, shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy are commonly practiced in conventional medicine, in cases of calculi, but these interventions are expensive for the common people and may lead to complications. Here is a case of ureterolithiasis or ureteric calculus successfully treated with homoeopathic organ remedy Hydrangea arborescens 30.

Background: Urolithiasis is the most common urological disease. Surgical treatment of ureteral stones consists of four minimally invasive modalities including ESWL, URS, PCNL, and laparoscopic or robotic-assisted stone surgery. URS and ESWL are the most widely used techniques. However, the use of ureteral stents for the treatment of ureteral stones is still controversial. Herein, we did a comparative study of URS with and without DJ stenting for the management of ureteric stones. Objectives of current study were to compare prevalence of post-operative complications in patients undergoing urete

A standard surgical treatment of distal ureteric defects is represented by the ureteroneocystostomy-ureteric reimplantation.

There is still controversy among urologists on the best treatment for ureteric pelvic stones. Recent advances in ureteroscopy with new methods of stone fragmentation (laser, electrohydraulic and ballistic lithotripsy) and current availability of small semirigid and flexible ureteroscopes have made this procedure rapid, easy and safe. Similarly, improvement in ESWL technology has also facilitated identification and treatment of stones above the iliac bone ring. In just over eight years (3/'88 - 6/'96) we treated 355 ureteral pelvic stones. The first approach was ESWL in 252 cases (by Dornier HM
