Machine learning models to predict the zero-fragment rate and lower pole access with FANS during flexible Ureteroscopy-an EAU section of endourology study.

World journal of urology
INTRODUCTION: Suction devices such as flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS) are promising tools to reach the zero-fragment rate (ZFR) after flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) and laser lithotripsy. FANS could especially be useful for...

Safety enhanced surgical robot for flexible ureteroscopy based on force feedback.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Although some robotic systems have been developed to improve conventional flexible ureteroscopy (FURS), a widely used intervention in urology, these robots rarely have a comprehensive force feedback function which is important for master-...

Initial experience with robot-assisted ureteroscopy with Ily® Robot.

Minerva urology and nephrology
The aim of this study is to present the first Italian experience with robotic-assisted retrograde intrarenal surgery (rRIRS) using the Ily platform. Procedures were performed for renal stones using the Ily Robot (STERLAB, Vallauris, France), which is...

Single-use flexible ureteroscopes: how to choose and what is around the corner?

Current opinion in urology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The pace of technology development with single-use endoscopy has led to a range of disposable ureteroscopes. We review the development of single-use scopes, deconstruct the basic design and functional characteristics of available d...
