Abstract
- Use of ESWL has made many changes in the treatment of urinary trat stones. However, the treatment of the stone below the iliac crest was not possible owing to the arrangement of the apparatus and the location of the stone within the bony pelvis. For solving the problem, we selected 5 patients having mid ureteral stone. They were placed in prone position and administered shockwave from 500 times to 2600 times. The result was 3 patients had no residual stone and 2 patients showed decreased size of stones in follow-up examinations. All the patients showed no specific complication. The ESWL is able to disintegrate mid ureteral stone by using the change of patient`s position and avoiding the shield of bone around the stone.
