..., the incidence of renal-ureteral calculi is significantly higher in girls (68.5%), compared to boys (31.5%). In total, 83.3% of patients showed a favourable outcome after treatment and the remaining 16.7% showed minimal complications. The presence of complications and remaining calculi was correlated to children...

... remains a safe and effective method for treating ureteral stones regardless of the size, the site, and the composition of stone. Flexible scopes should always be available in the operating theater when large stones are encountered in the upper ureter. Without the routine use of antiretropulsed measures...

... patients with ureteral FEP underwent modified laparoscopic partial ureterectomy by an experienced surgeon. In our method, a stay suture passing through the upper ureter was fixed to the abdominal wall to keep the ureter from twisting. The ureter was not completely dismembered until the first stitch, which...
