title: [Transurethral ureterolithotripsy in the treatment of ureteral calculi].
abstract: We report our experiences with transurethral ureterolithotripsy for treatment of ureteral calculi in 68 patients. 67% of the ureteral stones were extracted successfully. Failures and complications occur often by higher localisation of concrements. Only in 2 patients major complications occurred. Late complications (Ureter Manipulation Syndrome-UMS) were not observed in our patients. In cases with ureteral perforations or mucous membrane lesions ureteral stent must be used.
