Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Devices
  • Endourology

Context:

  • Flexible ureterorenoscopy (FUR) traditionally relies on passive secondary deflection, limiting its use in certain anatomical situations.
  • Evaluating new technologies is crucial for advancing minimally invasive urological procedures.

Purpose:

  • To introduce a novel double active deflection flexible ureterorenoscope (FUR).
  • To assess the efficacy, safety, and utility of this new FUR in clinical practice.

Summary:

  • A new double active deflection flexible ureterorenoscope (FUR) was used in 30 patients (34 renal units) for diagnostic and therapeutic ureterorenoscopy.
  • The device allowed complete pyelocaliceal cavity exploration in over 97% of cases, with a 85% overall success rate.
  • Active secondary deflection was essential in 20% of cases, demonstrating its value in challenging anatomies.

Impact:

  • The double active deflection FUR represents a significant technical advancement for future flexible ureterorenoscope design.
  • This technology enhances the ability to fully explore the pyelocaliceal system, potentially improving treatment outcomes for conditions like kidney stones and tumors.
  • The study provides initial data on the efficacy and morbidity of this new device in a clinical setting.
