Abstract

Most ureteral stones will pass spontaneously. Those that do not can be removed by either shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy. Traditional blind basket extraction, without fluoroscopic control and guide wires, is not recommended. Open surgery is appropriate as a salvage procedure or in certain unusual circumstances.
