Two patients with large volume disease in markedly dilated ureters were treated endoscopically by wide dilation of the ureteral orifice and passage of larger nonureteroscopic endoscopes. The larger instruments provided better vision and the ability to work with larger tools, which greatly facilitated treatment without complication in patients who otherwise would have undergone an open procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
