Abstract	INTRODUCTION: During the last decade, the advent of flexible ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy has revolutionized the management of upper urinary tract stones. Our center is a primary care hospital that is equipped with this technology since January 2011. This study reported our initial experience of first 225 cases. MATERIEL AND METHODS: This study is a descriptive, retrospective and monocentric analysis. The first 225 cases, operated consecutively by 3 surgeons during 26 months, were analyzed. We have used 2 flexible ureteroscopes (1 digital, 1 optical). Laser source was an Holmium laser (Stonelight) at a power of 5 watts. RESULTS: The mean age was 53 years (± 10.2) and the mean stones size was 11 mm (2.3). In 49% of cases, ureteroscopy was chosen for the first, without prior treatment. In 59% of cases, ureteroscopy was used after failure of other treatment (ESWL in 70% of cases). The mean operative time was 72 minutes (± 16.6) and the mean length of stay was 2.6 days (± 0.8). The first session of ureteroscopy was a success in 93% of cases without residual fragments after 1 month. The frequency of postoperative complications was estimated at 8% (Clavien I and II). CONCLUSION: Flexible ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy was a safe and effective technique, allowing the treatment of all upper urinary tract stones, especially on failure of other treatment. Its place in the first intention is widespread in our exercise, especially among obese patients, patients on anticoagulant therapy or with stone of the lower pole.
