Use of Kuntz Laser Carrier and Sachse Urethrotome Sheath in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Point of Technique

Abstract

With Kuntz laser carrier passed through Sachse sheath, precise delivery of laser energy is possible. Smaller sheath aids in increased intrarenal maneuverability; precise infundibulotomy helps in better stone clearance. Thus, requirement of additional punctures and blood transfusion rate being less in group II has been proven to be statistically significant.
