    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Instrumentation
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Traditional endoscopic instruments may have limitations in navigating complex urinary tract anatomy.
    • The need for versatile and adaptable tools for urological procedures is critical for improved patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the utility of a flexible endoscope for urological procedures.
    • To evaluate the performance of a commercially available choledochofiberscope in visualizing the renal pelvis, urethra, and bladder.

    Main Methods:

    • A flexible endoscope with a 200-degree articulating tip was employed.
    • Air was utilized as the visual medium for urethrocystoscopy.
    • Experience was gained over several years with intraoperative pyeloscopy and over 100 urethrocystoscopies.
