Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of ureteral stone treatment at Hau Giang General Hospital using retrograde laser lithotripsy via endoscopy. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study conducted on 50 patients with ureteral stones who were indicated for retrograde laser lithotripsy at Hau Giang General Hospital from March 2023 to May 31, 2023. Result: The duration of retrograde laser lithotripsy ranged from 30 to 40 minutes, with a mean of 34.24 minutes. The overall success rate was 92%, with 84% of patients achieving complete stone clearance and 16% having residual stones. Minor complications included flank pain in 20% of patients, with no recorded infections or severe adverse events. The highest stone-free rate was observed in the mid-ureter segment (96.6%), while the upper and lower segments achieved 66.7%. Regarding stone size, stones <5 mm and 5–<10 mm had high clearance rates (85.7% and 90.3%, respectively), whereas stones 10–<25 mm had only a 40% clearance rate
