    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Conventional cystoscopy requires modifications for effective ureteral examination.
    • Anatomical variations in the ureter present challenges for existing endoscopic tools.

    Observation:

    • A new ureterorenoscope, adapted from conventional cystoscopy, is presented.
    • The device incorporates features for intraureteral interventions.
    • Current applications include diagnostics, cytology, biopsy, and stone removal.

    Findings:

    • The modified ureterorenoscope enables direct visualization for ureteral lithiasis removal.
    • It supports diagnostic ureteroscopy, selective ureteral cytology, and intraureteral biopsy.
    • Intraureteral electrocoagulation is also a current capability.

    Implications:

    • Future possibilities include intraureteral lithotripsy and resection.
    • Advantages include low cost, ease of handling, and excellent visualization.
    • The device offers potential for filming, television, or photography, with minimal mechanical fault risk.
