    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Renal endoscopy, or nephroscopy, is now safe and practical thanks to new instruments. This technique aids in kidney stone removal and managing bleeding or tumors within the kidney, though X-rays remain necessary.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Technology

    Background:

    • Advancements in instrumentation have made renal endoscopy feasible, practical, and safe.
    • Nephroscopy is a valuable tool in urological surgery, particularly for treating kidney stones.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the utility of operative nephroscopy in managing renal calculi, intrarenal hematuria, and tumors.
    • To propose a standardized name for the commonly used rigid right-angled nephroscope.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of technical advances in endoscopic instrumentation for renal procedures.
    • Clinical application of nephroscopy in stone operations, hematuria management, and tumor evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • Operative nephroscopy is a valuable adjunct for stone operations, especially caliceal calculi.

  • Nephroscopy aids in managing intrarenal hematuria and low-grade tumors of the renal collecting system.
  • Operative X-rays remain essential despite the use of nephroscopy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Renal endoscopy is a safe and practical procedure due to technological progress.
    • The rigid right-angled nephroscope should be recognized as the Leadbetter nephroscope.
    • Nephroscopy expands treatment options for various intrarenal conditions.
