Over the last 40 years the treatment of urolithiasis passed from open surgical therapies to minimally invasive approaches. From the introduction of the first ureteroscopes in ‘80s many technological improvements allowed to reduce endourological instruments’ size, ensuring in the meanwhile an increasingly high success rate in the resolution of the ...

Journal of Endourology, 2018
In recent years, the incidence of nephrolithiasis in the pediatric population appears to be increasing. 1 This has placed a new emphasis on surgical management of stones in children. In the past, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy was the preferred management technique for stones in children.

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2013
Recent innovations in imaging equipment and novel instrumentation have helped ureteroscopy evolve from a diagnostic to a therapeutic tool. In this review, the authors highlight several of the most recent advances in ureteroscopy that have helped allow unprecedented access, visualization, and treatment of upper urinary tract pathologic conditions.

Journal of The Royal Naval Medical Service, 1989
Abstract Thirty-nine patients underwent 44 ureteroscopic procedures between January 1985 and August 1988 for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Twenty six procedures were undertaken on 23 patients for extraction of ureteric calculi and were successful on the initial attempt in 14 (61%). Four stones not removed on the first attempt were

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2004
Endoscopic evaluation and management of the diverse conditions involving the upper urinary tract of children is now feasible and has been shown to be safe and efficacious. This modality should be considered an essential part of the armamentarium of any urologist involved in the care of children.

European Urology, 1985
Initial experience with the rigid ureteroscope showed that despite ureteral dilation and guide wire followers, introduction of the ureteroscope can be difficult due to bladder mucosa catching on the instrument. A simple, cheap disposable device using a modified ureteric catheter is presented that overcomes this problem.

Complications Following Ureteroscopy
Journal of Urology, 1986We report 4 cases of ureteral injury and stricture formation following ureteroscopic stone manipulation. Possible etiologies of stricture formation and our methods of managing them are discussed. The complications of ureteroscopy have been reported only rarely and the ureteroscopist should be aware that the procedure is not always benign.

Complications Associated with Ureteroscopy
British Journal of Urology, 1986Summary— A review of 125 ureteroscopies in 111 patients is reported. Eight per cent suffered major complications of perforation or stricture formation and 3% required ureteric reimplantation. Clinical follow‐up and imaging studies performed more than a year after ureteroscopy produced no evidence that late ...

Ureteroscopy: anesthetic considerations
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2004Ureterorenoscopy (URS) is a vital procedure in the armamentarium of the modern-day urologist for the management of ureteral and renal pathology. With advances in ureteroscopic design and the introduction of short-acting anesthetics, URS can now be performed efficiently with high patient satisfaction and minimal posteroperative recovery time.

Ancillary instrumentation for ureteroscopy
Urologic Clinics of North America, 2004As the quality of ureteroscopy continues to improve, ancillary instrumentation will advance. The endourologist now has a vast supply of specially designed guidewires, stents, balloons, and baskets. These technologies have expanded the realm of cases that may be managed endoscopically.
