Core Tip

Core Tip: The inverted Y duplication ureteral malformation with ectopic ureters and multiple urinary calculi is clinically rare. The diagnosis should be made correctly before operation. It is important to determine the type of ureteral malformation and the distribution of urinary calculi. Endoscopic lithotripsy combined with laparoscopic surgery is a good method for treatment.
