Laparoscopic transperitoneal repair of retrocaval ureter: report of two cases.

abstract：PURPOSE:Large stone burden can be treated ureteroscopically, but the treatment often requires more than one procedure. Placement of a preoperative stent may theoretically enhance stone clearance by dilating the ureter to facilitate both access and stone removal. This study determines the impact of stent placement befor...
