title: Renal Pseudoaneurysm after Flexible Ureterorenoscopy - An Unusual Complication.
abstract: Pseudoaneurysm following flexible ureterorenoscopy has not been reported so far. The etiology remains unclear as high intra-renal pressure, direct laser damage and damage through stiff guidewire puncture had all been avoided. We like to share this case to make urologists aware of this unusual complication and discuss possible causes and therapeutic approaches.
