Ancillary instrumentation for ureteroscopy

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2004
As 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.

Rigid Transurethral Ureteroscopy

British Journal of Urology, 1986
Summary— Since March 1984 we have performed ureteroscopy in 58 patients. The indications were ureteric calculi in 49 cases and dilatation of ureteric strictures, evaluation of unexplained haematuria, evaluation of ureteric filling defects and the insertion of ureteric stents in the remainder.

Ureteroscopy Without Fluoroscopy: A Feasibility Study and Comparison to Conventional Ureteroscopy

Journal of Endourology, 2014
Patients with urolithiasis are exposed to significant amounts of radiation during their initial work-up, surgical treatment, and follow-up. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of performing ureteroscopy without fluoroscopy. In addition, we compared patients treated using a completely fluoroless ureteroscopic technique with a ...

Ureteroscopy: An Outpatient Procedure?

Journal of Urology, 1994
Ureteroscopy is used in the diagnosis and treatment of many urological conditions. The technique of ureteroscopy has been simplified by the introduction of smaller ureteroscopes and by an increase in the variety of accessory instruments that can be passed through the ureteroscope.

Ureteroscopy for benign hematuria

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2004
Any patient presenting with hematuria of unknown origin should undergo a thorough history, physical examination, and laboratory and radiographic work-up. All attempts should be made to exclude malignancy. Renal hemangiomas are the most likely cause of chronic benign hematuria, particularly in young patients.

Ureteroscopy: The Initial Experience

Journal of Urology, 1986
A prospective study of our first 81 cases of ureteroscopy using extended length rigid endoscopes was performed. Of 55 stone manipulations attempted in 51 patients by 6 endoscopists 38 (69 per cent) were successful. Analyzed sequentially, removal was successful in 12 of 23 attempts (52 per cent) among the initial 40 patients and in 26 of 32 (81 per cent)

Simple Aid to Ureteroscopy

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.
