Part of upper ureteic stones may have been migrated and may not have been visible during 1st ureteroscopic procedure. Putting dj stent facilitates better access of ureteroscopic access hence better chances of removal of residual calculus. Results of all these procedure is not 100 percent even with best hands with best equipments and staged procedure may provide better results
