title: Successful management of lower pole moiety ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a partially duplicated collecting system using retrograde endoureteropyelotomy with the Holmium:YAG laser.
abstract: A patient with lower pole moiety ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a partially duplicated collecting system was managed successfully by retrograde endoureteropyelotomy using a Holmium:YAG laser. To our knowledge, we report the first case of this entity managed successfully by retrograde endoureteropyelotomy without a percutaneous approach.
