[Laser contact lithotripsy for concrements of the upper urinary tract in an urgent urological department].
A total of 273 lithotripsies were made from March 2008 to February 2009 in an urgent urology department. Of them, 85 patients had concrements in the kidney pelvis, 117--in the ureter and 61--in the calyx. Lithotripsy was made in renal failure caused by two-sided block in 6 cases, in acute pyelonephritis in 29 cases in which lithotripsy was performed after preliminary stenting, sanation and elimination of suppuration. In the process of lithotripsy, to provide access to the concrements, laser beam was used to dissect the kidney neck cyx in 18 cases and ureteral strictures in 4 cases.
