pubmed:abstractText
In an unselected, consecutive series of patients, ureteroscopy was carried out for removal or manipulation of stones in 48 patients and for evaluation of suspected ureteric tumours in two. A success rate of 92% was achieved. The use of an intra-ureteric safety guide wire, indwelling throughout the procedure, facilitated ureteroscopic manipulation, minimised complications, reduced the need for subsequent open surgery and has been a prerequisite for our comparatively aggressive approach to ureteric disorders. The procedure may be time-consuming but prolonged manipulation within the ureter seems to carry little morbidity.
