In the last ten years the diagnostic and therapeutical approach to ureteral neoplasms and stones changed their feature, due to improvement of the ureteroscopy. The passage through flexible to rigid and finally semirigid ureteroscopes permitted reduction of invasiveness with higher results. The positive changes to the energy sources, in regard to cost-benefit, it was versus ballistic energy. Ureteroscopy should now be considered as a simple and safe technique, with minimal morbidity and invasiveness and also short operative times.
在过去十年中，由于输尿管镜技术的改进，输尿管肿瘤和结石的诊断和治疗方法发生了变化。从柔性输尿管镜到刚性输尿管镜，最后到半刚性输尿管镜的发展，使得侵入性降低，效果更好。在成本效益方面，能量源的积极变化是相对于弹道能量而言的。现在，输尿管镜检查应被视为一种简单、安全的技术，发病率和侵入性最小，手术时间也短。
