title: Intraoperative retrograde ureteroscopy during laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy: Precise localization of the lesion.
abstract: In a case of upper ureteral stricture refractory to laser ureterotomy, laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy was performed for resection of the stricture and reanastomosis of the ureter. Precise localization of the stricture segment was achieved by retrograde ureteroscopy performed concurrently with laparoscopy, with minimal change in the patient's position.
