title: Transurethral ureterorenoscopic ureteral stone removal in 100 patients.
abstract: A total of 102 transurethral ureterorenoscopic stone manipulations were performed on 100 patients with ureteral stones. Among the 81 successful procedures, stones were removed using a stone basket under ureterorenoscopic control in 12 (14.8%), after ultrasonic disintegration in 58 (71.6%), and stone fragments were allowed to be spontaneously passed after ultrasonic disintegration in 11 (13.6%). Owing to improvements in available instruments, transurethral ureterorenoscopic removal of ureteral stones will become an important procedure to endourologists. This report describes transurethral ureterorenoscopic removal of ureteral stones in 100 patients.
