The clinical efficacy of novel semirigid ureteroscopy with a vacuum suction device for treatment of >10 mm upper ureteral stones and impacted calculus: implications for clinical practice
For the treatment of >10 mm upper ureteral stones and impacted calculus, the novel semirigid ureteroscopy with a vacuum suction device is safe and effective. During the lithotripsy procedure, the use of a vacuum suction device has the potential to improve stone removal efficiency. However, due to the critical limitation of the lack of integrated pressure monitoring and control devices, potential complications caused by negative pressure suction and perfusion flow imbalance should be watched out for.
