Value of early second session shock wave lithotripsy in treatment of upper ureteric stones compared to laser ureteroscopy

ConclusionUltraslow full-power SWL treatment of patients with upper ureteric stones (<  1.5 cm and ≤ 1000 HU) with an early second session is safe and effective compared to laser URS. Patients who do not respond to early second SWL session should be shifted to another treatment modality.
