Optimized Ureteroscope Shape to Reduce Intrapelvic Pressure
­A method for improving fluid flow around or through an endoscope using radially oriented projections. Background: During ureteroscopy, the irrigation fluid used to distend the kidney and make stones easier to extract can also cause problems. It can cause a buildup of pressure in the pelvis, and any bacteria which are present can get pushed up...
