Abstract

From October 2005 to December 2008, transurethral ureterolithotripsy (TUL) with Holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser was done for 21 patients. The success rates 2 and 12 weeks after TUL were 86.5% and 90.9%, respectively. Intraoperative laser-related ureteral perforation was seen in 4.7% (n=1). In conclusion, transurethral Ho: YAG laser ureterolithotripsy is a effective procedure for the upper urinary stones.
