Ureterolithotomy refers to the open or laparoscopic surgical removal of a stone from the ureter. Within the last decade, ureterolithotomy has become very rarely performed because of the advent of minimally invasive procedures for stone removal and fragmentation. Ureteroscopically, stone removal is performed via basket extraction under direct vision, while stone fragmentation is achieved with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL), pneumatic contact lithotripsy (lithoclast), and pulsed dye and holmium laser lithotripsy.
