title: [Transurethral ureteropyeloscopy with lithotripsy and lithoextraction in children].
abstract: High efficacy of endoscopic treatment of urolithiasis in adults stimulated its introduction in the strategy of urolithiasis management in children. 133 ureteropyeloscopies with ureterolithotripsy and ureterolithoextraction was performed in 121 children (boys and girls, age 11 months to 16 years). Concrements (0.5-2.0 cm and larger) located in the caliceal-pelvic segment, ureter, 12 patients had bilateral urolithiasis. Ineffective extracorporeal lithotripsy (ELT) was followed by ureteropyeloscopy in 86 (71%) cases. Rigid and fibroureteropyeloscopes were used. Due to ureterolithotripsy and lithoextraction, concrements were removed completely in 98 (80.9%) patients including 5 children with ligature concrements and 11 children with ureteral strictures which required additional endoureterotomy and removal of ligature. In 23 (18%) cases when migration of concrements and their fragments did not allow complete elimination of the concrements, the kidney in ureteropyeloscopy was drained by catheters or stents with further ELT. Postoperative exacerbation of pyelonephritis treated conservatively was registered in 20 (16.5%) children. Long-term complications were not seen. Thus, transurethral uretheropyeloscopy with lithotripsy and lithoextraction is highly effective, low invasive, safe treatment of urolithiasis in children in failure of ELT.
