Ureteric stone displacement using a new technique.
Transcutaneous displacement of ureteric stones has not been widely employed. The technique described here is one in which four ureteric stones were actively displaced into the bladder using a balloon catheter. Major ureteric surgery was thus avoided. This new technique may be useful as an alternative to Dormia basket extraction of ureteric calculi.
