Conditions
Interventions
flexible and navigable suction sheath with flexible ureteroscopy
placement of flexible and navigable suction sheath (FANS)which has an oblique side branch with pressure vent, that can be connected to negative pressure aspiration, and a flexible tip, allowing for efficient and effective treatment of urinary stones. * Flexible URS diameter will be at the least 2 Fr smaller than the sheath. * The main tube is closed by a rubber seal with a center aperture as the flexible ureteroscope pathway, The oblique tube with a pressure-regulating venting slit along the longitudinal axis acts as a suctioning channel connected to a vacuum device. * The inflow of irrigation is through the endoscope, the outflow of irrigation is between the scope and the sheath. * A vortex is created at the distal end of the sheath, the irrigation fluid, the stone fragments, dust, and blood, etc. in the vortex can be aspirated out. * The aspiration pressure can be adjusted by the pressure vent on the oblique side branch of the sheath.
