    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Endourology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Ureteral meatotomy is crucial for managing upper urinary tract obstructions.
    • Existing techniques may pose risks of inadequate access or complications.

    Observation:

    • A novel endourologic approach involves anterograde ureteral catheterization via percutaneous nephrostomy.
    • A modified ureteral catheter facilitates controlled ureteral meatotomy.

    Findings:

    • The devised technique allows for safe and adequate ureteral meatotomy.
    • Placement of a silicone splint and proximal urinary diversion prevents extravasation.
    • The technique permits repeated, more proximal incisions if necessary.

    Implications:

    • This method enhances the safety profile of ureteral access procedures.
    • It offers a reliable solution for achieving adequate ureteral openings.
    • Potential to reduce complications associated with ureteral interventions.
