Excerpt

We previously described ureteroscopy (URS)-assisted retrograde nephrostomy (UARN) [4, 5]. In UARN, it is possible to continuously visualize the dilation of the ureter from puncture to insertion of the nephroaccess sheath (NAS). We herein report the first case of UARN for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in a patient with an incomplete double ureter. …
