Investigators from Second Xiangya Hospital Report New Data on Laser Therapy (Construction of a Risk Prediction Model for Ureteral Stricture After Ureteroscopic Holmium Laser Lithotripsy).

A recent study conducted at Second Xiangya Hospital in Hunan, China, focused on analyzing the risk factors for ureteral stenosis following ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. The research identified stone diameter, stone incarceration, and hydronephrosis as independent risk factors for ureteral stenosis. A predictive model was constructed using logistic regression analysis, showing high accuracy and discriminative ability in identifying high-risk groups for timely prevention of ureteral stenosis. The study's findings aim to minimize the risk of postoperative ureteral stenosis and improve patient outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
