Abstract

Surgeon experience is a predictive factor for complications and success for ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy for ureteric calculi. Experienced surgeons have fewer complications, and the success rate is higher. Sex, stone location, size, and age were not significantly related to complication or success rates.
