    Author: Gelet A, Martin X, Henriet M, Devonec M, Canton F, Codas H, Dubernard JM.
    Journal: J Urol (Paris); 1985; 91(5):251-5. PubMed ID: 4078350.
    Abstract:
    Rigid ureteroscopy has been performed 54 times in 49 patients with ureteral stones. In 72% of the cases stones were removed or disintegrated with the ultrasound or electrohydraulic probe. Best results were obtained in the pelvic ureter (96,5% success). In the lumbar ureter only 56% success was obtained. Complications were observed in 15% of the cases, however only one complication necessitated an immediate open surgical operation.
