title: Mini-percutaneous antegrade endopyelotomy.
abstract: Antegrade endopyelotomy is the endourologic treatment of choice for ureteropelvic junction obstruction with a coexisting renal calculus. We report the use of a mini-percutaneous procedure that allows us to perform an antegrade endopyelotomy and stone extraction through a 20F nephrostomy sheath.
