Case report: Intraluminal lithotripsy ureteral stone use laser energy for child 5 years
Overview
Abstract:
Urinary stones in children are a rare disease with an incidence of
about 2-3%. Choosing a treatment method for pediatric urinary stones
depends on the size and location of the stone, as well as the patient's
age. This research to report a case of a 5-year-old child with left
pelvic ureteral stones. We used specialized urological endoscopic
instruments for children to perform retrograde endoscopic surgery
with a Holmium laser energy source to dissolve stones. The surgery
process went smoothly, only took about 20 minutes, and anesthesia
time was very short. After surgery, the child was stable with high
cosmetic results. The patient was discharged after 3 days and no
complications were recorded during follow-up. Through this case, we
would like to share our experience in endoscopic ureteral lithotripsy
surgery using laser energy in children.
