Summary:	A case of an iatrogenic loss of 18 cm. of the distal ureter owing to attempted basket retrieval of a lower ureteral stone is reported. The defect was bridged by mobilizing the kidney, constructing a Boari flap and fixing the bladder with a Psoas hitch. The complications of stone manipulating are reviewed and discussed.
