Ureteroscopy is a common management option for multiple upper urinary tract conditions. Propelled by technologic improvements and expanding physician expertise, its use is increasing worldwide, and it is currently an important element in the armamentarium of the urologist.

We present herein a review of common complications in ureteroscopy.
