Abstract

Since January 1988 a group of 54 patients presenting with stone in the lower third of the ureter have been treated with rigid ureteroscope. In 47 cases(87 per cent) the stone was removed successfully. The associated number of complication was low, with most patients being treated conservatively. Our results confirm the safety and efficiency of ureteroscopy to manage the lower ureteral stones.
