Distal ureteral stones are routinely managed with semirigid ureteroscopy without the need for ureteral dilatation, but some conditions, e.g. large stone burden or difficult catheterization of the ureteral meatus, are time-consuming and would require a tool to facilitate multiple insertions of the ureteroscope and to avoid ureteral injury. An access sheath is now available and it facilitates ureteroscopy of the upper ureter. To answer the question whether its application could be expanded to the distal ureter is the aim of our paper.
