AB - IntroductionLaparoscopic ureterolithotomy (LUL) may be advocated as the primary treatment for a very large proximal ureteric stone or as one of the treatment options in case of refractory calculi from failed ureteroscopy or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy [1]. Although some debate exists over the necessity for ureteric stenting after LUL, placing a JJ stent represents an effective internal drainage method that maintains the patency of the urinary tract, prevents prolonged urinary leakage, and allows better healing, thus preventing the narrowing of the ureteric lumen [2]. However, the ideal method for JJ stent placement in laparoscopy is still controversial. Two main methods of stenting after LUL have been described: (i) retrograde, via the bladder route, either pre‐ or postoperatively [3,4] and (ii) antegrade (intracorporeal) [2,5]. These methods, together with others that have been described [6,7], could require extra cystoscopic or ureteroscopic instrumentation (the use of which is familiar only to urologists), changing of patient position, modification of the JJ stent or of the guidewire, or further dissection and incision of the upper ureter.The aim of this study was to present a new technique for JJ stent placement during transperitoneal LUL.Description of the Technique (Video S1)Patients are placed in a lateral
