Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria were coexisting noncalculous disease (e.g., malignant obstruction, renal insufficiency, or congenital anomaly of urinary tract), solitary kidney, ureteral stricture, pregnancy, or complicated ureteroscopic ureter stone removal requiring long-term stent placement (>7 days).
