Abstract: Ureteroscopy, both flexible and semirigid, can be used for a number of urologic diseases, including urinary stones, ureteral strictures, and cancer. While effective ureteroscopy can be performed by any urologist with adequate experience and training, there are some general principles and tricks which we teach to our trainees to maximize their efficiency with this technology. This session will center around the indications for ureteroscopy and how to perform cases most effectively in different clinical situations.
