Metallic ureteral stents: a cost-effective method of managing benign upper tract obstruction.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Routine preoperative electrocardiogram (ECG) before shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is frequently performed despite recommendations against its use in asymptomatic patients undergoing low-risk surgical procedures. This study assesses whether routine preoperative ECG before SWL is useful in patients at low risk...
