Abstract

•We previously reported the new strategy (UARN) for PCNL.•UARN is a useful procedure for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy because of continuous visualization with ureteroscopy.•UARN requires ureteral access sheath (UAS). UAS has a potential risk of ureteral stricture.•We herein report the first case of UARN without the use of UAS.
