Summary— The technique of endoscopic transvesical extramural ureterolithotomy for calculi impacted in the lower ureter is described. Ten patients are presented in whom calculi could not be extracted using conventional methods; 9 of the 10 calculi were successfully removed using this approach with no long‐term complications.
