Abstract:
This article provides a step-by-step guide to flexible ureteroscopy (URS), with focus on some of the newer techniques and technologies available to facilitate treatment of complex stones. In it we review indications, preoperative evaluation, surgical steps, postoperative care, troubleshooting methods, and complication management. Furthermore, we will explore advances in laser technologies, the integration of suction mechanisms, and the incorporation of intrarenal pressure measurement systems in flexible URS.
