Anatomical Considerations in Urinary Stone Disease

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Urology ((CCU))

Abstract

In the urinary tract, all roads lead to the urethra. An understanding of its anatomy, in both the male and female, is important for the successful and safe removal of bladder calculi and for the safe passage of both cystoscopes and ureteroscopes.
