Patients and methods This is a prospective randomized single-center study conducted on patients with lower third single radiopaque ureteric stone with size less than 15 mm. Patients were randomized into three groups, group A: Supine transgluteal, group B: Modified prone and group C: Prone position (80 patients each).
