Experimental stone clearance with in‐scope suction and flexible and navigable suction access sheaths

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S45-S52, March 2026.
Objective To perform benchtop experiments using direct in‐scope suction (DISS) ureteroscopes (Pusen Medical, Zhuhai, China; 3.6‐Ch and 5.1‐Ch working channels) and flexible and navigable suction (FANS) ureteric access sheaths (ClearPetra; Wellead, Guangzhou, China) to establish their ability to clear stones of different diameters.

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.

Steinstrasse predictive factors and outcomes after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2011
PURPOSE: Urinary stone disease is a common medical problem. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) has been applied with high success and low complication rates. Steinstrasse (SS) is a possible complication after SWL. The aim of the present study was

Role of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery [PDF]

, 1993
Since the early 1980s extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has partially replaced major operative procedures in various fields of surgery. In the interest of the patient, it is important to determine the exact role of ESWL in surgery.

Distal urethral obstruction in an eight‐week‐old colt with struvite urolithiasis

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page e130-e136, March 2026.
Summary An 8‐week‐old Thoroughbred colt presented with acute colic signs. Physical examination and transcutaneous ultrasound of the abdomen and penis revealed a urinary tract obstruction in the distal urethra due to urolithiasis. A distal urethrotomy over the site of obstruction was performed to remove the urolith and relieve the obstruction.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy of Gallstones

Annals of Surgery, 1989
Recently extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been introduced as a nonoperative treatment for gallstone disease. Except for lung damage, no significant adverse effects of ESWL of gallbladder stones have been observed in animals. In clinical use ESWL of gallbladder stones is now confined to 15% to 30% of symptomatic patients.

Elective flexible ureteroscopy with suction sheaths for infectious stones in prior UTI patients

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and clinical outcomes of elective flexible ureteroscopy using flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS) in patients with upper tract infectious stones following initial management of systemic urinary tract infections (UTIs).
