Abstract
- The ureterolithotomy was usually performed through a longitudinal incision of the ureter in the field of urology. Many complications caused by the longitudinal incision of the ureter were very well known. Gil-Vernet has emphasized transverse incision of the ureteral calculi from his satisfactory results on 73 operations. Transverse ureterolithotomy on 7 cases were performed. Postoperative course of all cases was uneventful. This method and comparison to the longitudinal incision should be considered.
