Abstract
There has been no article that publish the utilization of nephroscope to lithotripsy in removing giant distal ureteral stone. Here we reported a case of large multiple distal ureteral stones treated using nephroscope and litotripsy with shockpulse in a 53-year-old woman. The biggest stone measuring 40 × 35 mm and 5 × 5 mm for the smallest one. After initial cystoscopy and ureteric dilatation, nephroscope 24fr was inserted into the distal ureter. DJ stent was applied. No residual stone and complication were found. After four weeks the stent was removed and the ureteral lumen was normal in size.
