During a 13-month period, 55 patients underwent attempted retrograde manipulation for ureteric lying above the pelvic brim. The mean stone burden was 11 mm (range 5-21); 41 stones (75%) were primary ureteric calculi and 14 (25%) were fragments resulting from extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy to renal calculi. The method of retrograde manipulation was recorded prospectively. Retrograde flushing through an 8F angiography catheter with a mixture of saline and lignocaine gel was successful in 27 patients (49%). The insertion of a J-wire through the angiocath allowed for successful manipulation in a further 17 patients (31%). Retrograde manipulation was impossible in 11 patients (20%). There were 4 complications (7%), none attributable to the use of a J-wire.
