title: [Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery combined with ureteroscopic lithotomy for treatment of renal and ureteral calculi].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the feasibility of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery combined with ureteroscopic lithotomy through the pelvis for treatment of renal and ureteral calculi.
  
  
  METHODS
  In February 2010, 2 patients with renal and ureteral calculi underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery combined with ureteroscopic lithotomy through the pelvis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operation time in these two cases was 70 and 80 min, and the volume of intraoperative blood loss was about 20 ml. The exposure was excellent, and the patient recovered rapidly without complications or residual calculi.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery combined with ureteroscopic lithotomy through the pelvis is feasible for treatment of renal and ureteral calculi.
