Ureteroscopy basket stone extraction is an operation in which ureteroscopy enters the ureter from the patient's urethra through the bladder, and then the stones are taken out by using the stone penetrating basket. Pneumatic lithotriptor, laser lithotriptor, ultrasonic lithotriptor and other lithotripsy equipment can also be used under the ureteroscope to accurately lithotripsy under the guidance of the ureteroscope, and then the stones can be broken and taken out.

Ureteroscopy basket stone extraction can be used for lithotripsy of stones in any part of the ureter, but extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is generally used for the treatment of ureteral stones. For patients who cannot use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopic basket lithotripsy can be used for treatment.

The biggest difficulty encountered in ureteroscopic lithotripsy is ureteral stricture or tortuosity, which can lead to surgical failure. The reasonable application of guide wire and ureteroscopic dilator can improve the success rate of ureteroscopic lithotripsy.

The above is about the treatment of ureteroscopic basket lithotomy. Changmei Medtech is specialized in the design, R & D and production of various minimally invasive medical devices, especially focusing on expanding balloon catheter and stone basket, etc.
