Abstract
- Rigid transurethral ureteroscopy has been utilized on twenty-two occasions for the treatment of distal ureteral calculi. This resulted in successful stone removal and avoidance of an open operation in 77.3 percent of the cases. The advantages of this type of treatment are that it enables endoscopic access to a surgically difficult portion of the ureter and allows direct visualization during basket manipulation of ureteral calculi. It is concluded that the ureteroscopic stone manipulation could be the first choice of treatment in distalureteral calculi.
