The ureteral avulsion during ureterolithotripsy (URS) occurs due to the sudden movement of the optical device or endoscopic extractor either in its removal or insertion, associated with a probable previous lesion in the ureter wall, causing a vital fragility area. A 52-year-old male patient with, an obstructive calculus of 9 mm was found in the left middle ureter, and a heterogeneous hypervascular nodule located in the right kidney, suggesting neoplasia.
