Implication

Retrospective review found high stone-free rate and improved renal function in 21 patients undergoing combined ureteral access and reconstruction procedures, indicating their effectiveness.

Key Points

This study evaluates the effectiveness of simultaneous treatment for ureteral strictures and kidney stones.
Retrospective review of 21 patients with ureteral strictures and kidney stones.
Utilized tip-bendable ureteral access sheath-assisted transabdominal flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy and laparoscopic upper urinary tract reconstruction.
Analyzed stone-free rate, operative time, postoperative hospital stay, complications, and renal function changes.
Complete stone clearance in 90.5% of patients.
Mean stone size was 20.0 mm, with mean operative time of 136.9 minutes.
Postoperative renal function improved with reduced serum creatinine and increased glomerular filtration rate.
