A ureteroscopic procedure provides the urologist with an important treatment option for patients with:
- Stones located in the ureter or bladder
- A normal urinary tract
- Stones in locations that preclude ESWL or PCNL
A wide variety of instrumentation is required for a ureteroscopy.
It is imperative that instrumentation is properly selected to match the requirements of the case.
A selection of Urology instruments from Boston Scientific is available for ureteroscopic access to the urinary tract for
stone retrieval and the establishment of nephrostomy drainage.
A flexible ureteroscopy typically involves the following steps:
- Initial access – guidewires
- Dilatation/Access – ureteral access sheaths, balloon dilatation, catheters and ureteral dilators
- Fragmenting the stone – lithotripsy devices
- Ureteral drainage – stents
- Prodecure accessories – a group of ancillary products which assist in flexible ureteroscopy
