Patients were randomized into two groups: group A (study group) included 41 patients, where IVAI was used to dilate the ureter and facilitate ureteroscopy (the intraureteral pressure was measured using a pressure transducer connected to an invasive pressure monitor before and 5\u00a0min after IVAI), whereas group B (control group) included 42 patients, where balloon dilatation was used prior to ureteroscopy.
