Abstract
The inadequacies of current procedures to yield exact diagnostic information on the last portion of the ureter in men and the urologists'' frequent frustration when manipulations are attempted in the lower ureter have prompted exploration of a direct endoscopic approach to diagnosis and treatment in the terminal ureter. In the last 3 yr ureteroscopy has been performed in women on a routine basis to discover and to treat with amazing ease ureteral tumors, calculi, obstructions, etc. Ureteroscopy in men now also should join the urologists'' armamentarium of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The equipment and the technique to endoscope the lower ureter is described.
