The authors report their experience of 1,126 cases of posterior vertical lumbar incision. The essential indication for this approach is stones in the renal pelvis or lumbar ureter (788 cases). The authors subsequently extended the indications for this incision to all plastic operations on the pyeloureteric junction (56 cases) and the extraction of certain staghorn calculi (114 cases). The posterior approach is anatomically simple and direct. It has the advantage of causing less muscular mutilation with a simpler postoperative course.
