Abstract
Abstract: Endoscopic management of ureteral calculi is one of the most important therapies in academic centers. Amongst these Laser and Pneumatic Lithotriptorsare gaining popularity. This study was designed to study the efficacy and outcomes of both the available Lithotriptors. ¬¬200 patients presenting to the Urology OPD in our tertiary center were divided into 2 groups; first group being treated with pneumatic lithotripter and second group being treated with Holmium:YAG laser. Patients in both groups were compared in regards to mean operative time, successful fragmentation rate, mean hospital stay and occurrence of various complications in each procedure. Our study depicted results in favour of Holmium:YAG Laser which were substantiated by our data analysis. Keywords:Lithotriptor, Laser, Pneumatic, Ureteral Calculus
