“…In patients with a previous endourological attempt which had failed, Goel and Hemal [15] reported that the retroperitoneoscopic removal of the ureteral stones is a viable alternative with an acceptable operation time (mean 108.8 min) for large upper and mid ureteric calculi. Therefore, ureteral stones of 11 cm and particularly in the upper ureter, chronically impacted stones and cystine or calcium-oxalate-monohydrate calculi are optimal candidates for RPU [2,16]. We performed RPU in patients in whom SWL had failed (71% in the present series) or large stones in the upper or mid ureter.…”

“…Most upper or middle ureteral stones are treated with shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopic lithotripsy (UL) or percutaneous lithotripsy (PL) [1,2]. Therefore open surgery is rare but may still be indicated in some cases due to failure of first-line treatment modalities or the characteristics of the stone (size, composition or location) [2].…”

“…Advances in the design of the ureteroscope and ongoing development in ESWL have greatly impacted the management of ureteric stones (5). The indications for ureteroscopic lithotripsy have increased with smaller semi-rigid ureteroscopes and reliable laser technology and the production of more robust flexible instruments has further expanded the indications for endoscopic intervention.…”

“…Kupeli et al [9] reported that ureteroscopic stone removal is more successful in distal ureter stones than SWL. According to Marberger et al [10], an in situ SWL attempt on larger stones in the distal ureter is worthwhile prior to any instrumentation. However, smaller stones seem to be the domain of primary URS as it is also reported by Ikemoto [11].…”
