Study of ureteral and renal morphometry on the outcome of ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy: The critical role of maximum ureteral wall thickness at the site of ureteral stone impaction

Conclusion: Ureteral wall thickness of >4.8 mm is associated with prolonged duration of surgery and lower SFR. Patients with ureteral wall thickness of >4.8 mm at the site of ureteral stone who are planned for URSL must be counseled about the higher chances of residual stones and the need for additional procedure.
