Cost-efficacy comparison of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and endoscopic laser lithotripsy in distal ureteral stones.

abstract：:After urinary diversion, access to the distal ureter for either resection or repair, especially in patients with history of infection, extravasation, radiation, or other abdominal surgery, can be hazardous. We report two cases where the endoscopic placement of a coaxial balloon dilating catheter prior to open explorat...
