ABSTRACT
During the period between July 1995 and January 1998, fifty patients with upper 2/3 ureteric calculi were subjected to endourological procedures using retrograde stone displacement or flushing back to the kidney. All patients were subjected to either PCNL for cases with successful retrograde flushing technique or PCN and antegrade renoureteroscopy for cases with failed retrograde flushing and in whom flushing was not attempted because of non visualized ureteric orifice. Thirty seven patients were male [74%] and thirteen were females [26%] with an average age of 41 years. The stones were located in the upper 1/3 ureter in 40 patients [80%] middle 1/3 in 9 patients [18%] and in both thirds in one patient [2%]. In seven patients ureteral stones were associated with renal stones which were removed during the same sitting. The overall stone clearance was 92%. The intra and post-operative complications were minimal. The operative time averaged 105 minutes for push and pull procedures and 120 min. for antegrade renoureteroscopy. Hospital stay for the successful cases ranged from 3-8 days with an average of 4 days
