Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: balancing sheath and scope size for desired flows

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S60-S70, March 2026.
Objective To study the effects of ureteroscope diameter, ‘flexible and navigable suction’ access sheaths (FANS) diameter, and irrigation pressure on intrarenal pressure (IRP) and irrigation fluid flow rates in ex vivo porcine kidneys; these benchtop data were compared against mathematical modelling results.

Direct in‐scope suction (DISS) ureteroscopy: techniques, outcomes and future directions

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S19-S28, March 2026.
Objective To provide an overview of direct in‐scope suction (DISS) ureteroscopy, an emerging technology that integrates suction directly into the ureteroscope with the aim of enhancing stone clearance, improving visualisation, and reducing intrarenal pressure during ureteroscopic stone surgery.

The role of 5‐alpha reductase inhibitors in transurethral resection of the prostate: a meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue 3, Page 430-443, March 2026.
Objective To critically evaluate the existing evidence base surrounding the efficacy of preoperative 5‐alpha reductase inhibitor (5ARI) administration in the reduction of perioperative complication rates in transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Methods In April 2025, a systematic search of on‐line databases was conducted to identify randomised ...

The effect of negative, single and multi‐organism positive cultures on outcomes following PCNL

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Objective This study aims to explore risk factors related to positive single and multi‐organism stone cultures and their association with postoperative complications in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Subjects/Patients and Methods A retrospective review was performed on 293 PCNL patients with stone cultures at a single

Flexible ureteroscopy with a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath versus mini‐percutaneous nephrolithotomy for 1–2 cm lower pole renal stones: Protocol for an international, multicentre, randomized non‐inferiority trial (FLAME trial)

BJUI Compass, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Background Lower pole renal stones measuring 1–2 cm remain challenging to treat. While mini‐percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini‐PCNL) provides high stone‐free rates (SFRs), it carries tract‐related morbidity. Flexible ureteroscopy (f‐URS) is less invasive but limited in SFR.

Longer‐term effects of intraoperative cone‐beam computed tomography in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: 18‐month retrospective randomised controlled trial analysis

BJU International, Volume 136, Issue 5, Page 848-857, November 2025.
Objectives To assess the longer‐term impact of intraoperative cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) on stone‐related morbidity after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), since intraoperative CBCT allows for the detection and removal of residual fragments during the same procedure, improving stone clearance and thereby potentially diminishing stone ...
