JSLS. 2012 Jan-Mar;16(1):163-5. doi: 10.4293/108680812X13291597716627.

Abstract

A 39-year-old female previously treated with shock wave lithotripsy developed extensive ureteral stricture disease. After 2 unsuccessful attempts at retrograde balloon dilatation, she was evaluated at our center for further management. Successful reconstruction was performed with laparoscopic-assisted vesicocalicostomy.
