The number of jets from each ureteral orifice will be tabulated over time so that ureteral jet frequency, defined as number of jets per minute, can be calculated. Patients will be categorized into three groups. Group I- no ureteral jets on the symptomatic side; Group II- continuous low-level ureteral jet on the symptomatic side; Group III- ureteral jets similar to nonsymptomatic side.
