Radiation exposure in flexible ureteroscopy with a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath: A European Association of Urology–Endourology multicenter study
Our study is the first to highlight the multitude of factors affecting radiation exposure in FURS with FANS. Although not a direct measure of surgeons' actual exposure, it has important implications for the As Low As Reasonably Achievable principle which is commonly used to minimize radiation exposure to patients and operating room staff.
