Abstract
We report the case of a patient with heterozygous sickle cell trait pr esenting with massive gross hematuria, Ureteroscopy revealed bleeding from the tip of papilla of the inferior calica and allowed us to tampo nade the bleeding with a balloon ureteral dilator set (Cook(R) Urology ), We show the value of the endourological approach in the conservativ e management of these patients at high risk of recurrent hematuria.
