Durability of current generation flexible ureteroscopes: the experience from a high-volume centre
Abstract:Introduction
The aim of this article was to evaluate the durability of current generation fibreoptic flexible ureteroscopes (FURS), analyse factors that influence durability, identify reasons for premature damage of FURS and offer suggestions to expand its life span.
Material and methods
A total of 952 retrograde intrarenal surgeries (RIRS) done for upper tract calculi using 8 fibreoptic FURS, namely three Storz Flex X2, one Flex X2S, two Olympus URF- P6, two Olympus UR… Show more
