30 cases of obstructing proximal ureteral stones at the level of L3-L5
which could not be pushed back into the pelvis and passed by a guide wire
under epidural anesthesia, were removed percutaneously with the rigid
ureteroscope. Multiple stones in one ureter, bilateral ureteral stones and a
ureteral stone of a solitary kidney were removed successfully in one session
showing the reliability and efficacy of this procedure.
