Core Tip	This manuscript demonstrates the advent, technical progression and modern use of ureteroscopy for stone disease. It begins with a brief epidemiology of renal stone disease, technological advances in flexible ureteroscope, use of laser for stone disease and the different types of surgical options available. We also share the current evidence of ureteroscopy for stone treatment in obesity, pregnancy, pediatrics and patients with bleeding diathesis and large renal stones. In the end we discuss what the future holds for ureteroscopy including an insight into robotic ureteroscopy.
