Abstract
- Foreign bodies placed into the ureter are uncommon. Unintentionally placed sutures may cause obstruction and stone formation. If not recognized, the patient may become symptomatic. A diagnosis of a suture in the ureter is best made and subsequently dealt with endoscopically. We report on laser ablation of the suture as a safe technique for its removal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
