Elective flexible ureteroscopy with suction sheaths for infectious stones in prior UTI patients
Elective flexible ureteroscopy using FANS for upper tract infectious stones is feasible for its excellent safety profile with no sepsis cases and high stone-free rates. FANS technology appears to offer significant advantages in this challenging patient population by mitigating postoperative sepsis due to debris aspiration, reduction of pyelovenous backflow of contaminated irrigation fluids and improved stone fragment evacuation.
