Introduction: The aim of the study was to observe the success rate of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the management of upper urinary tract stones. Materials and Methods: This retroprospective study was conducted in Pokhara Kidney stone Centre, Pokhara, Kaski, Nepal from January 2017 to January 2018. Seventy nine patients were selected in this study with upper urinary tract stone, size less than 20 mm. Results: Seventy four (93.67%) patients were successfully treated in initial use of shock wave and 5 (6.32%) patients required repetition. Conclusion: Overall satisfactory success rate was observed using ESWL for the upper urinary tract stone. Careful selection of patient, stone size and Hounsfield unit (HU) is advisable.

Abstract Background Radiopaque stones in the upper urinary tract can often be visualized by both ultrasonography (US) and fluoroscopy (FS) during ESWL treatment. This prospective study was performed to compare the results of ESWL when both US and FS are possible and to evaluate efficacy and safety of ultrasound guided ESWL (SONO ESWL) in patients with radiopaque renal stone. The study was limited to renal calculi, since calculi in lower urinary tract may be difficult to visualize with ultrasonography. Objective To investigate whether the localization modality (u/s or fluoroscopy) affects clinical outcomes of ESWL or not. Patients and Methods Our study was conducted on 100 Patients with renal stones planned to have ESWL sessions attending urology outpatient clinic in Ain shams university hospitals and National Institute of Urology and Nephrology from February 2018 to January 2019 and divided into two equal groups; group A (ultrasound guided ESWL) and group B (fluoroscope guided ESWL). Results Our study revealed that the localization modality on ESWL (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) didn’t affect the clinical outcomes of ESWL. Conclusion Even in patients with radiopaque renal stones, ultrasound can be used to guide extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy as effectively as fluoroscopy, without any risk of radiation.
