Rationale and feasibility study of a mechanical model for the testing of material fatigue in metal ureteral stents.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Whereas ureteroscopic lithotripsy is more efficacious than SWL in treating lower-ureteral stones, the same has not been universally said of its ability to treat proximal ureteral stones. Because failed proximal lithotripsy is often attributable to the complications associated with stone migration...
