Brief Summary

With advances in endourological equipment, minimally invasive procedures have been found to be sufficient for the treatment of ureteral stones in children. The investigators aimed to evaluate the stone-free rate and complications related to the procedure and to compare it with the period when their experience were limited by presenting their patients with ureteral stones treated by ureteroscopy (URS) and holmium YAG laser in the last three years after their 15-year routine endourological practice. The investigators retrospectively compared 54 cases treated with ureteroscopy (URS) for ureteral stones between 2009-2011, the first three years of our endourological interventions in children, and 78 cases treated with URS for ureteral stones between 2020-2022, the last three years of their 15-year endourological experience, from hospital records. Demographic data, stone-free rates, number of procedures and recorded complications were evaluated in both groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Determination of stone-free rate in children who underwent ureteroscopy (URS) for ureter stone

  After the ureteroscopy, patients were monitored with Ultrasonography in the first month, 3-6-12 months, and stone-free rates were determined.

  Ultrasonography evaluation was performed postoperative 1. month, 3-6-12-18 months, and ureter stones of the patients were evaluated.

• Rate of complication in children who underwent URS for ureter stone

  Perioperative and postoperative complications noted

  Evaluation include postoperative 1. month

• The stone-free percentages and complications percentages detected in the period when endoscopic procedures were started and in the last period when experience increased were compared.

  The effect of experience on the results was determined by comparing the complications percentage and stone-free percentage of the two periods.

  Perioperative and postoperative first month data from two different periods will be compared

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 9 Months - 17 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Between 01 01 2020 and 31 12 2022, 78 children with ureteral stones who were operated on in our clinic were retrospectively evaluated from the hospital records. A total of 40 males and 38 females with a mean age of 9,64+4,91 years (range 0.75 to 17) required surgical treatment for ureteral stones.

You may qualify if:

• children with ureteral stones who were operated on in our clinic
