Abstract:
Designs for flexible ureteropyeloscopes should be based on the configuration of the intrarenal collecting system. This study measured retrospectively the ureteroinfundibular angle and infundibular lengths of 30 patients treated for calculus disease. Recommendations are given for the design of flexible ureteropyeloscopes that could visualize the entire normal intrarenal collecting system.
