Abstract
The main objective of this video was to illustrate a step-by-step combined 1-section approach. We believe that it is very useful for endourologists who are starting their experience with encrusted ureteral catheters.

However, in some cases, the large amount of encrusted stones precludes a single successful surgery. According to Borboroglu and Kane, 1 Borboroglu P.G. Kane C.G.
