Core Tip
Core tip: It’s an honor to write a prestigious editing board; there is a review article study to compare between percutaneous nephrolithotomy and laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for treatment of large upper ureteral stones. These two procedures are different in many aspects and it’s not clearly defined that which one is preferred option.
