Özet
A total of 65 women with ureteral stones who underwent ureteroscopy were divided randomly into two groups between April 1993 and March 1994. URS was performed under general anaesthesia in the first group (35 patients), and under local anaesthesia with sedation analgesia in the second group (30 patients). Only 2 patients of the second group did not tolerate the operation. The success rate was 88% in the first group and 83.3% in the second. There was no significant difference between the two groups. Since URS under local anaesthesia is time-saving, cost-effective, and highly tolerable in women, it is a good choice for ureteral stones.
