“…In our series, stents were used in 14.5% of cases, mainly driven by complications such as upward stone migration or suspected ureteral injury. The decision to stent is predominantly determined intraoperatively based on surgical outcomes and specific patient conditions (11,24). The evolution of ureteroscopy has been further advanced by the development of flexible URS systems, which offer enhanced access and improved optics for the management of upper urinary tract calculi.…”

“…In this context, our experience with using an 8.5 Fr semirigid ureteroscope alongside a lithoclast has shown promising results in the management of ureteral calculi (3,9). The objective of this report is to rationalize the use of semirigid ureterorenoscopy in our clinical setting, presenting outcomes that underscore its efficacy and safety, thereby supporting its role as a fundamental treatment modality for ureteral calculi where non-invasive options are limited or ineffective (10,11).…”
