The article presents a study which analyses the role of emergency ureteroscopy (URS) in the management of ureteric stones among 394 patients who underwent URS at Auckland City Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand between January 2010-December 2011. The study suggests that emergency URS is a feasible approach for the management of ureteric stones with low complications rate, particularly in younger, healthier patients.
