summary

Transurethral ureterolitholapaxy was performed in 345 patients. In 75 patients (21.7%) problems and complications appeared. An open surgery was performed after ureteroscopy in 10 patients: 5 cases of failure to extract calculus, 2 ureteral strictures, detachment of ureter, migration of calculus outside the ureter, injury of the distal ureteral mucosa and the orifice. The authors discussed difficulties and causes of complications, possibilities of avoiding them and methods of treatment.
