Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: what size stone particles can be cleared?

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objectives To perform benchtop experiments on flexible and navigable suction (FANS) ureteric access sheaths (UASs) to determine the clearance capabilities for various stone sizes when paired with different‐sized ureteroscopes. Methods Quartz stones were used as a surrogate for renal stones.

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

BJU International, EarlyView.
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.

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

BJU International, EarlyView.
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.

Comparison of lithotripsy methods during mini-PNL: is there a role for ballistic lithotripsy in the era of high-power lasers

BMC Urology
Background For renal stones > 20 mm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) offers the best stone clearance rates with acceptable complication rates. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of high-power holmium YAG laser and ballistic lithotripsy during ...

Pulsed Thulium:YAG laser – What is the lithotripsy ablation efficiency for stone dust from human urinary stones? Results from an in vitro PEARLS study

World journal of urology, 2023
The novel pulsed thulium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet (p-Tm:YAG) laser was recently introduced. Current studies present promising p-Tm:YAG ablation efficiency, although all are based on non-human stone models or with unknown stone composition.

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

BJU International, EarlyView.
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.

Cholangiolithiasis postliver transplantation: Successful treatment utilizing percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy and laser lithotripsy

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Liver transplant is a risk factor for the development of cholangiolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. While usually addressed by endoscopic techniques, percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy combined with laser lithotripsy can be considered a suitable ...
