Rigid transurethral ureteroscopy has been utilized on sixteen occasions for the treatment of distal ureteral calculi.

The advantages of this type of treatment are that it enables endoscopic access to a surgically difficult portion of the ureter and allows direct visualization during basket manipulation of ureteral calculi.
