Intrarenal Pressure in Suctioning vs. Non-suctioning Sheaths
Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Summary
Interest in monitoring intrarenal pressure (IRP) during flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) has grown, especially due to its potential association with improved postoperative efficiency and safety. A prominent technique for managing IRP during fURS is the use of ureteral access sheaths (UAS), which are known to reduce IRP. Suction-equipped access sheaths provide additional benefits by continuously evacuating dust and stone fragments during the procedure, potentially enhancing stone-free rates. However, IRP during suctioning procedures has yet to be thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study is to compare the IRP during fURS using UAS with and without suctioning technique.

Conditions
Interventions
Suctioning-UAS
Participants undergoing flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) will receive a suctioning ureteral access sheath using the ClearPETRA Flexible and Navigable Suction UAS. Continuous intrarenal pressure (IRP) measurements will be recorded throughout the procedure using the LithoVue Elite ureteroscope system.
Non-suctioning-UAS
Participants undergoing flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) will receive a standard non-suctioning ureteral access sheath using the BSC Navigator device. Continuous intrarenal pressure (IRP) measurements will be recorded throughout the procedure using the LithoVue Elite ureteroscope system.
