Transurethral ureteral stone manipulation.
Most urologists use stone manipulation at some time for the treatment of ureteral stones. About 40 to 50 per cent of ureteral calculi that require surgery are retrievable by stone manipulation. The procedure has a remarkably good success rate (about 80 per cent) and a very low morbidity rate (1 per cent or less).
