Abstract:Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of indwelling ureteral catheter and double J tube after simple ureteral calculi and holmium laser lithotripsy.Methods From January 2018 to January 2019, we prospectively collected 66 hospitalized patients with simple ureteral stonestreated with pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy, and randomly divided them into the observation group (n = 32) and control group (n = 34). Course of disease, stone size, stone hardness, operation time, postoperative complications (bladder irritation, residual stone rate, hematuria and urinary tract infection) were compared between the two groups.Results Comparison of disease course, stone size, stone hardness, operation time and postoperative residual stone rate between the two groups, the differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The incidences of bladder irritation symptoms, hematuria and urinary tract infection in the observation group were significantly less than those in control group (P < 0.01), but the treatment cost observation group has obvious advantages.Conclusion For patients with simple ureteral calculi, postoperative indwelling ureteral catheter instead of double "J" tube can reduce patient suffering, reduce medical costs and reduce the incidence of complications.
