Abstract:
Laparoscopic techniques have been proposed for the management of different pathologies of the urinary system. This study reports our initial experience in laparoscopic surgery as an alternative treatment of ureteral calculus. Five patients with proximal ureteral calculus were submitted to laparoscopic ureterolithotomy. The technique and its possible indications are discussed.
