Comparison of Flexible & Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath vs. Antegrade Suction in Retrograde Flexible Ureteroscopy for Lower Calyceal Stones
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of two suction techniques during retrograde flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) for lower calyceal renal stones measuring 1.5-2 cm. The study evaluates Flexible \& Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath (FANS) versus Antegrade Suction (via percutaneous access) in improving stone-free rates (SFR), reducing operative time, and minimizing complications such as bleeding, ureteral injury, and infection. A total of 120 adult patients will be randomized into two groups, undergoing either flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) with Flexible \& Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath (FANS) or flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) with antegrade suction, at Banha University Faculty of Medicine.
