Abstract: The aim of this research is to explore the therapeutic effect of holmium laser lithotripsy (HLL) under continuous irrigation by epidural catheter in the treatment of ureteral calculi of high CT value. A total of 106 patients with ureteral calculi of high CT values were divided into two groups by random number table. The control group adopted HLL under ureteroscopy, and the observation group adopted HLL under continuous irrigation by epidural catheter. The operation time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group, while the success rate of lithotripsy was higher than that of the control group, and the rate of stone uplift and in vitro lithotripsy was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). One day after surgery, the adrenaline (AE), cortisol (Cor), and malondialdehyde (MDA) of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, while the superoxide dismutase (SOD) was higher than that of the control group. Three days after surgery, the interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group (3.77%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (15.09%). It is suggested that HLL under continuous irrigation by epidural catheter is more effective in treating ureteral calculi of high CT value.
