Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: what size stone particles can be cleared?
Without withdrawing the ureteroscope (potentially allowing continuous lasertripsy), it is possible to continuously aspirate small fragments alongside a 7.5-F and a 6.3-F ureteroscope in an 11/13-F FANS UAS. Intermittent withdrawal of a ureteroscope from the FANS UAS allows complete stone clearance.
