Abstract

A new minimally invasive ureterolithotomy is herein described which utilizes a 3 cm long skin incision. Surgery is performed with the aid of a newly developed bivalve retractor endoscope (Jakoscope) which provides excellent illumination with built-in double fiberoptic light cables and high intensity light source. The new surgical technique can be utilized in the rare cases of ureteral stone when other standard modalities may not work or when the patient demands definitive rapid treatment, and cannot be followed postoperatively.
