Flexible ureterorenoscopy combined with Holmium-YAG laser is an effective and reliable technique for the management of renal stones. Cacchi-Ricci disease is a frequent urological malformation characterized by precalyceal stone formation, for which no preventive treatment is available at the present time. Some complicated forms are difficult to manage because of the technical impossibility of treating these precalyceal stones. The objective of this article is to describe a technique allowing management of these precalyceal stones by flexible ureterorenoscopy combined with Holmium-YAG laser.
