A Single-Center Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of VISOR
Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Summary
Goal of this trial: To test a new tool called VISOR in adults (aged 18-80) with 1-3 cm kidney or ureter stones. We want to see: 1. If it's safe and works well 2. If its built-in features (flushing/suction, pressure control, and stone-breaking/removal) help clear stones better while keeping surgery safe. Main questions: 1. Can the VISOR clear stones successfully (with fragments \<4 mm left) for at least 9 out of every 10 people within 24 hours after surgery? 2. Will serious problems (like severe infections or ureteral injuries) happen to no more than 1 in 20 people (5%)? 3. Can the device keep pressure inside the kidney below 30 mmHg (a safe level) during the entire surgery? What participants will do: Have stone removal surgery using VISOR (breaks and removes stones at the same time). Get a CT scan within 24 hours after surgery to check if stones are cleared. Return 4 weeks (±1 week) after surgery for: An imaging test (CT or ultrasound) A check for any health problems related to the surgery.

Interventions
Multifunctional Integrated Flexible Ureteroscope
Investigational ureteroscope with three integrated functions: 1. Real-time pressure control: Continuous renal pelvic pressure monitoring with auto-adjustment of irrigation/aspiration flow to maintain pressure \<30 mmHg (safety threshold) 2. Simultaneous lithotripsy \& fragment removal: Holmium laser lithotripsy (200-365 μm fiber) coordinated with suction through working channel 3. Single-pass stone clearance: Designed to reduce residual fragments requiring secondary procedures Distinguishing features vs conventional ureteroscopes: 1. Eliminates need for separate suction devices 2. Prevents intraoperative "washout failure" causing obscured vision 3. Patent-pending pressure sensor
