A new technique helps release kidney stones from retrieval baskets by deflecting the ureteroscope laterally. This method improves stone extraction with various ureteroscopes and baskets, simplifying the procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endourology

Background:

  • Kidney stone retrieval using baskets can be challenging.
  • Difficulties in releasing stones from baskets can prolong procedures and increase risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, effective technique for releasing stones from ureteral retrieval baskets.
  • To demonstrate the importance of ureteroscope manipulation during basket extraction.

Main Methods:

  • Describing a technique emphasizing lateral ureteroscope deflection.
  • Applying the method with semirigid and flexible ureteroscopes.
  • Testing with various types of stone baskets.

Main Results:

  • The technique facilitates stone release from the basket.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Successful application across different ureteroscope types.
  • Minor challenges noted with specific flat-wire baskets.

    • Conclusions:

    • Lateral ureteroscope deflection is key for successful stone basket release.
    • This technique offers a practical solution for challenging stone extractions.
    • The method is broadly applicable in endourological stone management.
