    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Urinary tract stones and biliary stones pose significant clinical challenges.
    • Existing stone removal baskets may have limitations in maneuverability within complex anatomical tracts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified stone removal basket designed for improved manipulation.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this modified basket in clinical stone removal procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified stone removal basket featuring a torquable leading wire and a swivel joint was designed and constructed.
    • The device was utilized in a series of 12 patients requiring stone extraction from the biliary or urinary systems.

    Main Results:

    • The modified basket demonstrated effective maneuverability within the biliary and urinary tracts.
    • Successful stone removal was achieved in all 12 patients who underwent the procedure using the device.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified stone removal basket offers enhanced manipulation capabilities for stone extraction.
    • This device presents a viable and effective option for managing stones in the biliary and urinary tracts.
