Vesicoureteric reflux following endoscopic extraction of lower ureteric calculi. 1979

T Moore

Twenty-three patients subjected to endoscopic ureteric meatotomy or Dormia extraction were examined for vesicoureteric reflux. Reflux into the lower third of the ureter was found in 2 asymptomatic patients. The risks of reflux from endoscopic stone removal seem to be minimal.
