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 Alternative View

British Journal of Urology, 1985
Summary— Forty‐six ureteroscopies were carried out over a 12‐month period. A simple technique is described. The desired level was reached in 72% of cases and the pre‐operative objective achieved in 60% of cases overall. Fifty per cent of all ureteric stones were safely retrieved by ureteroscopy.

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: 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)
