      <abstract>
        <p>The case demonstrates the use of ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy in the treatment of an obstructed left proximal ureteral stone with forniceal rupture. The patient presented to the emergency department with the signs and symptoms of a ureteral stone and was taken for imaging and a diagnostic ureteroscopy. Following confirmation of the diagnosis, the patient was scheduled for ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy. A guidewire was placed, followed by visualization with a retrograde pyelogram and a subsequent flexible ureteroscopy. Laser lithotripsy was performed to fragment the stone. Following fragmentation, the renal pelvis and calyces were visualized to examine for retrograde movement of stone fragments. A confirmatory retrograde pyelogram was then performed, followed by placement of a temporary stent for fluid drainage. The patient was then discharged with opioids for pain medication and prophylactic antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections and the subsequent risk of urosepsis.</p>
