Brief Summary
Objectives: To present the outcomes of retrograde and antegrade ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy in the treatment of proximal ureteral stones ranging in size from 10 to 20 millimeters in diameter. Patients and methods: From March 2023 to December 2023, 70 patients were included in this prospective randomized double-arm interventional study. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1: (35 patients) had semi-rigid retrograde ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy and group 2: (35 patients) had semi-rigid antegrade ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Stone free rate
number of patients reported complete clearance of stones after intervention
Direct after intervention
Study Arms (2)
Retrograde Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn this arm we used the retrograde ureteroscopic Laser lithotripsy to clear the uretric stones. After the end of the procedure, all patients were followed for stone free rate as the primary outcome
Antegrade Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn this arm we used the antegrade ureteroscopic Laser lithotripsy to clear the uretric stones. After the end of the procedure, all patients were followed for stone free rate as the primary outcome.
