and its painful nature it becomes a global health burden. Profiling and
management of ureteric calculi aspects involves understanding epidemiology,
clinical presentation, key factors such as age, gender, seasonal distribution
and its diagnostic modalities such as ultrasonography, CT scan plays a pivotal
role in accurate localization and size of ureteric calculi. Wide spectrum
ranging of management involves conservative measures to surgery. Conservative
management involves hydration, pain management to facilitate stone passage and
to alleviate symptoms. Surgery management includes ureteroscopy with laser
lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), laparoscopic
ureterolithotomy, pushback PCNL and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL),
offers effective means for stone fragmentation and removal. For effective
tailored management of ureteric calculi, they should be profiled.
