  • Title: Loop catheter extraction of ureteral stones: a re-evaluation.
    Author: Lynn JM, Chamberlain NO, Cannon RD, Naftel WT, Ingram JE.
    Journal: Urology; 1983 Sep; 22(3):243-5. PubMed ID: 6623769.
    Abstract:
    Loop catheter extraction of ureteral stones has been used consistently by our group for over thirty years. Stones of up to 1.5 cm in largest dimension can be removed by this method, and for stones of any size there is less trauma to the ureter than with basket extraction. A representative five-year experience is presented in dealing with 264 ureteral stones, 58 of which were managed by loop extraction.
