AB Retrograde  instrumentation  of  the  upper  urinary  tract,  such  as  ureterorenoscopy,  uses  under  endoscopic  guidance  the  anatomically  predestined  access  via  the  urethra  and  ureter,  while  techniques  of  antegrade  instrumentation  require  a  percutaneous  puncture.  This  approach  must  respect  the  intrarenal  anatomy  just  as  in  open  surgical  nephrotomy,  and  imaging  techniques  are  required  to  guide  the  procedure.
