    Abstract:
    Transurethral ureterolithotripsy was performed in 32 patients with ureteral stones. A rigid ureteroscope was used and for the purpose of ureteral dilatation a hydraulic ureteral dilator (Ureteromat) was used. In total 39 stones were treated and of these 30 stones (77%) were successfully extracted or disintegrated. The success rate according to the location of the stone was as follows; 50% for the upper ureteral stone, 55% for middle ureteral stone and 96% for lower ureteral stone. As a complication of the procedure a lower ureteral stricture was noted in one patient. Hydraulic ureteral dilatation is a useful method of ureteral dilatation in transurethral ureterolithotripsy.
