Feasibility of respiratory synchronization for laser lithotripsy using a robotic retrograde intrarenal surgery system Zamenix™ in an in-vitro model
Robotic-assisted RIRS resulted in reduced fragmentation time, laser time, mucosal contacts, and total energy compared to manual RIRS during laser lithotripsy. The incorporation of respiratory synchronization in robotic-assisted RIRS reduced laser time compared to manual RIRS and shortened the fragmentation time compared to the robotic-assisted RIRS without respiratory synchronization, particularly for less experienced surgeon. These initial results demonstrated the feasibility of robotic-assisted RIRS with respiratory synchronization, highlighting its potential to improve procedural efficiency and safety.
