Prospective Relationship Between the Rates of Spontaneous Passage of Distal Ureteral Stones and the Distal Lumen

Prospective Observational Evaluation of the Relationship Between the Rates of Spontaneous Passage of Distal Ureteral Stones and the Diameter of the Most Narrow Part of the Distal Ureter

Patients (female, male, or queer) with ureteral stones (smaller than 1 cm at the widest diameter of the stone) without pyonephrosis, urinary sepsis, or untraceable pain will be enrolled into the study. Ureteral width at the smallest area of the ureter (in most cases UV junction) will be noted during regular ultrasound scans. The ratio of ureteral width to the stone diameter will be correlated with the spontaneous stone passage.

Inclusion Criteria:

Ureteral Stone smaller than 1 cm Volunteer to be enrolled

Exclusion Criteria:

Pyonephrosis Urinary Sepsis Untraceable Pain
