However, the procedure involves an anatomical alteration of the ureterovesical (neo)junction that often hinders the retrograde catheterisation of the reimplanted ureter.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>We describe a case of antegrade ureterolithotripsy (AULT) in a psoas-hitch reimplanted ureter. A woman with severe left hydronephrosis supported by a subcentimetric proximal ureteral stone in a psoas-hitch reimplanted ureter was referred to our unit. Retrograde ureteroscopy was unsuccessful due to impossibility in incannulating the ureteral neo-orifice. Following the placement of a percutaneous nephrostomy, percutaneous AULT through ureteral sheath was successfully performed with complete treatment of the stone.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>AULT may represent a viable alternative in the management of ureteral stones when the upper urinary tract is not amenable to retrograde ureteroscopy. In experienced hands, the procedure is straightforward and may avoid the adoption of transabdominal approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2022-250635","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]],"date-time":"2022-10-31T11:05:23Z","timestamp":1667214323000},"page":"e250635","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Antegrade left ureterolithotripsy in a patient with previous psoas-hitch ureteral reimplantation"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8703-5975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gaia","family":"Colalillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences, Unit of Urology, University Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3697-6457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filippo","family":"Annino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Azienda USL 8 Arezzo, Arezzo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saba","family":"Khorrami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Azienda USL 8 Arezzo, Arezzo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anastasios D","family":"Asimakopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences, Unit of Urology, Fondazione PTV Policlinico Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082710004019000_15.10.e250635.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1918","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-410X.2011.10745.x","article-title":"Laparoscopic extravesical ureteric re-implantation","volume":"108","author":"Asimakopoulos","year":"2011","journal-title":"BJU Int"},{"key":"2025082710004019000_15.10.e250635.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S-25","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2018.0750","article-title":"Ureteral reimplantation, psoas Hitch, and Boari flap","volume":"34","author":"White","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Endourol"},{"key":"2025082710004019000_15.10.e250635.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"258.e1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpurol.2018.01.009","article-title":"Ureteral tunnel length versus ureteral orifice configuration in the determination of ureterovesical junction competence: a computer simulation model","volume":"14","author":"Villanueva","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Pediatr Urol"},{"key":"2025082710004019000_15.10.e250635.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"176","DOI":"10.1080\/2090598X.2020.1769385","article-title":"Antegrade mini-percutaneous flexible ureteroscopy versus retrograde ureteroscopy for treating impacted proximal ureteric stones of 1-2 cm: a prospective randomised study","volume":"18","author":"Elgebaly","year":"2020","journal-title":"Arab J Urol"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2022-250635","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,27]],"date-time":"2025-08-27T17:00:47Z","timestamp":1756314047000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2022-250635"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,10]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2022-250635"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2022-250635","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1757-790X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,10]]}}}
