title: [Flexible ureteroscopy. Diagnostic and therapeutic significance. Apropos of 15 cases].
abstract: The authors analyse the results of a preliminary report of 15 cases of ureteric stones treated by flexible ureterorenoscopy and one case of radiolucent renal stone in the left lower renal calyx. Stone fragmentation was complete in 11 cases with 1 small residual fragment in the lower ureter, 1 perforation was immediately operated without any further complication and in one case, it was impossible to advance into the ureter. Flexible ureterorenoscopy is valuable for diagnosis of filling defects in the lower calyx and for treatment of stones in the upper and middle ureter.
