title: Laparoscopic-assisted vesicocalicostomy for severe pelvi-ureteral stricture disease.
abstract: A 39-year-old female previously treated with shock wave lithotripsy developed extensive ureteral stricture disease. After 2 unsuccessful attempts at retrograde balloon dilatation, she was evaluated at our center for further management. Successful reconstruction was performed with laparoscopic-assisted vesicocalicostomy.
