    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Renal pelvic and caliceal stones pose a surgical challenge.
    • Traditional stone extraction methods can be invasive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel flexible fiberpyeloscope for renal stone removal.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this device in clinical cases.

    Main Methods:

    • A flexible fiberpyeloscope with a 90-degree angle deflector was developed.
    • Specially designed stone forceps were used through the fiberpyeloscope channel.
    • The device was employed in 4 cases of renal pelvic stones via subcostal flank incision.

    Main Results:

    • The flexible fiberpyeloscope enabled clear visualization of the renal pelvis interior.
    • Renal pelvic stones were successfully grasped and extracted under direct vision.
    • The procedure was performed through a small incision in the renal pelvis.

    Conclusions:

    • The flexible fiberpyeloscope is an effective tool for extracting renal pelvic and caliceal stones.
    • Its maneuverability and visualization capabilities facilitate minimally invasive stone removal.
    • This device offers a promising approach for treating kidney stones.
