Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: balancing sheath and scope size for desired flows

Using a FANS in the renal pelvis potentially allows for higher irrigation pressures whilst maintaining a low IRP (without the need for suction). With intraoperative monitoring of IRP, irrigation pressure could be increased to achieve flow rates up to 24 times higher than those achievable with gravity irrigation (120 vs ~5 mL/min).
