Purpose:
We describe a feasible flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) technique with the latest instruments to and to discuss their advantages.
Methods:
Three patients underwent a fURS for stone treatment. A 7F angled orifice catheter and a hydrophilic angled tip stiff wire is used to guide the wire in the proper ureteral direction sighting the ureter allowing the use of a 10/12 ureteral access sheath. A single use ureteroscope was used.
Results:
All of them had successful ureteral access and laser lithotripsy being stone free endoscopically. No complications reported.
Conclusion:
The modern fURS technique was found feasible and safe in patients with cross-trigonal ureteroneocystostomy.
