Percutaneous ureterolithotomy.

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

• Ureteral stones can be challenging to remove using conventional methods.
• Percutaneous approaches are often considered for complex cases.

Observation:

• A case of direct percutaneous ureterolithotomy was performed.
• The procedure combined antegrade control, ureteral stent placement, and precise fluoroscopic guidance.

Findings:

• The integrated technique resulted in a successful outcome for ureteral stone removal.
• This minimally invasive approach demonstrated efficacy in a challenging clinical scenario.

Implications:

• This direct percutaneous ureterolithotomy technique may serve as a valuable alternative for difficult ureteral stone removal.
• It highlights the potential of combined antegrade control, stenting, and imaging for improved procedural success.
