  • Severe complications reduced from 4% to 0.9%.
  • Success rate for ureteral calculi removal increased from 72% to 98%.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Ureteromat system enhances the efficiency and safety of ureterorenoscopy.
    • It also facilitates other procedures like flexible ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
    • No Ureteromat-related complications were observed in this experience.
