Outcomes of extracoporeal shock wave lithotripsy for ureteral stones according to ESWL intensity

Abstract

Baekground: We evaluated the treatment outcomes of ureteral stones according to energy intensity generated by ESWL. Conclusions: Stone size and HU affected the ESWL success rate. ESWL intensity was not significantly relate to the success rate, so it should be adjusted accordig ton patient pain and the degree of stone fragmentation.
