Retroperitoneoscopic treatment of caliceal diverticular calculi: report of two cases and review of the literature.

abstract：:Since the advantages of using ureteral stents in conjunction with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy were first recognized, the growing demand for outpatient stone treatment has made stent use much more frequent. However, prophylactic stent placement must be judicious to maximize success and minimize associated mor...

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...
