Urology Endoscopy

Typical Use

Visualize and treat ureteral and intrarenal pathology including stone removal.

Description

A flexible or rigid endoscope designed to access the ureter and renal collecting system for diagnostic inspection, laser lithotripsy, stone extraction, and biopsy, enabling minimally invasive management of urolithiasis and upper tract lesions. Ureteroscopy requires careful navigation, irrigation management, and instrument compatibility for laser fibers and retrieval devices, with attention to ureteral trauma prevention and postoperative stent considerations. High quality visualization and adjunctive imaging support effective stone clearance and reduce the need for open surgery.
