    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Endourology

    Background:

    • Ureteroscopy is a key procedure in urology.
    • Evaluating the efficacy and safety of ureteroscopy is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple ureteroscopy technique.
    • To assess the diagnostic and therapeutic success rates of ureteroscopy.

  • Pre-operative objectives were achieved in 60% of cases.
  • Fifty percent of ureteric stones were retrieved.
  • A diagnosis of upper urinary tract abnormality was established in 16 of 23 cases (69.6%).
  • The overall complication rate was low, with ureteric colic (23%) being the most common issue, mainly after stone manipulation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transurethral ureteroscopy is a safe procedure.
    • The technique offers significant diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities for upper urinary tract abnormalities.
    • Ureteroscopy demonstrates a favorable safety profile with manageable complications.
