Summary— The development of endourological techniques for the treatment of upper urinary tract disease has concentrated mainly on the endoscopic treatment of upper urinary tract stones. The relief of pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJ) by percutaneous pyelolysis has recently been reported and the use of the flexible uretero‐pyeloscope has also been described. We describe the use of a rigid uretero‐renoscope to relieve strictures causing secondary pelviureteric junction obstruction in two cases.
