    Author: Liu CS, Zhang P, Shao ZQ, Zheng SB.
    Journal: Nan Fang Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao; 2010 Jan; 30(1):189-90. PubMed ID: 20118016.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for bilateral ureteral stones with renal colic in emergency. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 86 patients suffered with sudden renal colic due to bilateral ureteral stones and treated with ESWL between January 2005 and January 2009. RESULTS: The success rate was 74.4% after a single ESWL session, and the overall success rate was 82.6%. Significant difference in stone length was observed between successful group and failed group (P<0.01). The stone position did not produce significant impact on the outcome of the treatment (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: ESWL is an effective treatment modality in emergency for small-length and short-term obstruction bilateral ureteral stones with remal colic.
