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.

Immune-related adverse events with renal colic as the main manifestation: a case report of sintilimab-induced ureteritis/cystitis treated by ureteral stent and review of the literature

Frontiers in Immunology
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of systemic cancer therapy. During disinhibiting the antitumor responses of immune system, ICIs may also cause unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs) which could affect any organ.

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.

Caliceal Fluid Temperature During High-Power Holmium Laser Lithotripsy in an In Vivo Porcine Model.

Journal of endourology, 2018
INTRODUCTION With increasing use of high-power laser settings for lithotripsy, the potential exists to induce thermal tissue damage. In vitro studies have demonstrated that temperature elevation sufficient to cause thermal tissue damage can occur with ...

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

BJU International, EarlyView.
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 ...

A scoping review of the clinical efficacy and safety of the novel thulium fiber laser: The rising star of laser lithotripsy.

Canadian Urological Association journal = Journal de l'Association des urologues du Canada, 2020
INTRODUCTION The holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser is the gold standard for intracorporeal lithotripsy. Preclinical reports suggest the thulium laser fibre (TFL) may possess advantages over the Ho:YAG laser, including improved lithotripsy ...
