Flexible nephroscopy is a safe and effective treatment for various kidney conditions, including stones and tumors. This minimally invasive procedure offers high success rates and reduces complications associated with traditional interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

  • Flexible nephroscopy introduced in 2002 at Saint John Emergency Clinical Hospital.
  • Became a routine procedure for various urological conditions.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of flexible nephroscopy.
  • To assess its role in treating kidney lithiasis, uretero-pelvic junction stenosis, caliceal diverticulum, and urothelial tumors.

Summary:

  • 113 patients underwent flexible nephroscopy between 2002-2006.
  • High success rates observed for lithiasis (94.4%) and antegrade endopyelotomy.
  • Positive outcomes reported for caliceal diverticulum and urothelial tumors with no recurrences.

Impact:

  • Flexible nephroscopy reduces the need for multiple or supracostal access trajectories.
