    Main Results:

    • Renal endoscopy is now feasible, practical, and safe.
    • Operative nephroscopy is a valuable adjunct for caliceal calculi but does not replace operative X-rays.
    • Nephroscopy has expanded management options for intrarenal hematuria and low-grade renal collecting system tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • The rigid right-angled nephroscope, a key instrument in renal endoscopy, has proven its utility.
    • Further advancements in instrumentation continue to enhance the capabilities of renal endoscopy.
    • The proposed name 'Leadbetter nephroscope' honors the pioneer of its design.
