One required second ureteroscopy. Other 3 underwent successful percutaneous nephroscopic electrocautery.

**

Recurrent gross hematuria occurred at 1 month, 1, 2 and 2 year post-surgery, respectively. All resolved spontaneously.

***

One had a bleeding from a different site at 2 years post-surgery. Therefore this does not seem to be a treatment failure.
