OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of radiopaque stickers during endoscopic surgical cases to prevent wrong side surgery. METHODS: We used radiopaque markers before planned endoscopic surgery to ensure correct side surgery. These markers are labeled "R" and "L" and are identifiable during fluoroscopy. RESULTS: These markers were a valuable tool to prevent wrong side endoscopic upper tract procedures. They were also well-accepted by patients at their preoperative surgical verification process. CONCLUSION: Radiopaque stickers can assist in the prevention of wrong side surgery during upper tract endoscopic procedures.
