Assessment of anatomical outcomes in the upper urinary tract following flexible ureteroscopy with flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath: 1-year results from a multicentre study. [PDF]

BJUI Compass
Abstract Introduction Flexible and navigable suction access sheath (FANS) with flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) has demonstrated favourable 30‐day and 3‐month outcomes for renal stones in normal anatomy.
