Abstract

We analyzed the indications and results of rigid ureteroscopy performed in 154 consecutive patients. Treatment of ureteral lithiasis was the main indication. Success rate for this procedure was 95.4%. Evaluation of hematuria and treatment of ureteral stenosis constituted most of the remaining indications for the procedure.
