title: [Ambulatory treatment of lithiasis with Dormia extractor and intraureteral injection with xylocaine gel].
abstract: Our initial experience in ambulatory extraction of ureteral stones, with local anaesthesia and lubrication with xylocaine gel are reported in this paper. Extraction was thus simplified in all patients and there was no need for further sedation in 97.3% of cases. Overall results, considering the promptitude and simplicity of the methods and significant cost-efficacy ratio can be considered optimal, and their efficacy is not below that of the other current therapeutical alternatives for this type of lithiasis. We therefore conclude that the method, far from being relegated by the various lithotripsy techniques, may on the contrary constitute a useful complement to them, able to solve in an ambulatory fashion more than 60% of cases of ureteral lithiasis.
