Non‐Functional Paraganglioma of the Urinary Bladder: A Rare Cause of Bladder Tumor

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Paragangliomas of the urinary bladder (PUBs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors, representing less than 0.06% of all bladder neoplasms. While most are functional and associated with catecholamine excess, approximately 15% are non‐functional, often presenting asymptomatically and discovered incidentally.

Safety and Efficacy of Thulium Fiber Laser Versus Pneumatic Lithotripsy in Ureteric Stones During Semirigid Ureteroscopy

Urology Research and Practice
Objective: During the treatment of ureteric stones by semirigid ureteroscopy, pneu matic, and laser lithotripsy are commonly used for stone lithotripsy.

Sialendoscopy for salivary stones: principles, technical skills and therapeutic experience [PDF]

, 2017
La scialoadenite cronica ostruttiva rappresenta una delle più frequenti patologie non-neoplastiche delle ghiandole salivari e la scialoendoscopia è sempre più utilizzata nella sua diagnosi e nel suo trattamento, associata o meno con la litotripsia laser.

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

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S71-S77, March 2026.
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.

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and retrieval of endoscopic lithotripsy basket after mechanical failure

Journal of Minimal Access Surgery
Impaction of a mechanical lithotripsy basket during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a rare but serious complication resulting from technical failure. We describe a novel case of lithotripsy basket retrieval aided by laser fragmentation.

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.

Sialolithiasis. Proposal for a new minimally invasive procedure: piezoelectric surgery [PDF]

, 2014
Sialolithiasis is the presence of stones in the ducts of the salivary glands. Most episodes are unique, and 60-80% are located exclusively in the main excretory duct.

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.

Single-operator holmium laser lithotripsy under direct peroral cholangioscopy using an ultra-slim upper endoscope in a patient with a large stone in the common bile duct

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2017
In patients with complicated stones (e.g., large stones) in the common bile duct (CBD), advanced treatment modalities are generally needed. Here we present an interesting case of a large CBD stone treated with holmium laser lithotripsy, which was ...

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.
