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.

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.

BJU International, EarlyView.Objectives To evaluate the physical properties of seven ureteroscopes (URSs) and compare the maximal angle of deflection (MAD) when used with flexible and navigable suction access sheaths (FANSs) of varying sizes. Materials and Methods Seven commercial URSs (ranging from 6.3 to 9.5 F in size) were evaluated for outer diameter, irrigation flow rate ...

Frequency Threshold for Ablation During Holmium Laser Lithotripsy: How High Can You Go?
Journal of endourology, 2020 Purpose: We performed in vitro studies to assess the relationship of pulse frequency on stone ablation during contact laser lithotripsy and determine if there is a threshold after which its effect on lithotripsy is limited.

Distal urethral obstruction in an eight‐week‐old colt with struvite urolithiasis
Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.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.
