RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RENAL STONE LOCATION WITH STONE-FREE RATE AFTER ESWL
Abstract: This study aims to
evaluate the relationship between stone location and stone location in kidney
stone to the stone-free rate after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
procedure. Material & method: This is a non-experimental research using
descriptive analytic method with retrospective study design that takes data
from patient medical record diagnosis of urinary tract stones and ESWL action
from January 2011 until December 2013 in the Department of Surgery Division of
Urology General Hospital H. Adam Malik, Medan. Results: It was found that if
the size of the stone only is the only factor that counts in patients who get a
urinary tract stones ESWL therapy, it is not found a statistically significant
relationship. Stone location plays an important role in the incidence of
stone-free patients with urinary tract stones ESWL therapy. Conclusion: ESWL
therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of patients with kidney stones is not
only determined by the size and location of the stone, but is also determined
by the number of stones, stone composition, frequency ESWL is used, and the
thickness of the skin of the patient.
