Abstract:
We present a simple technique to reposition an open-ended ureteric catheter in the pelvicalyceal system during percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A through-and-through glidewire is straightened using a stone-grasping forceps. The open-ended catheter is advanced in the pelvicalyceal system over this taut glidewire.
