Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Ureteric Stones: Success Predictors Based on CT-Scan Parameters

Abstract

Shock wave lithotripsy is a safe and effective therapy for nephrolithiasis, with minimal intrusive procedures. A variety of technical factors, as well as the patient's preferences, might have an influence on the procedure's outcome. The goal of this research was to identify the NCCT characteristics that would indicate if shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is successful in treating ureteral stones
