The application of KUB for detecting of submucosal ureteral stones.
TL;DRAbstract
In patients with lower ureteral stone, the KUB of whom indicates a stone under iscial spine, if the distance of the peak of stone from the midline of sacrum was lower than 15 mm, the stone could most likely be submucousal, a point, which should be considered during treatment. In such cases the intravesical approach should be considered intraoperatively and preparation for submucosal ureteral incision must be provided. This method would be useful in stone removal, if the classic ureteroscopy was not successful.
