Laser fibers and baskets. How do they affect suction and intrarenal pressures using the novel single-use flexible direct in-scope suction ureteroscopes?
The 9.2 Fr DISS ureteroscope demonstrated higher irrigation flow rates and IRP, and shorter times to system collapse and recovery compared to the 7.5 Fr scope. However, the insertion of working instruments negatively affected all measured parameters, with a greater impact observed in the 7.5 Fr scope due to its narrower channel.
