Intrarenal Pressure in Suctioning vs. Non-suctioning Sheaths

Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Interest in monitoring intrarenal pressure (IRP) during flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) has grown, especially due to its potential association with improved postoperative efficiency and safety. A prominent technique for managing IRP during fURS is the use of ureteral access sheaths (UAS), which are known to reduce IRP. Suction-equipped access sheaths provide additional benefits by continuously evacuating dust and stone fragments during the procedure, potentially enhancing stone-free rates. However, IRP during suctioning procedures has yet to be thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study is to compare the IRP during fURS using UAS with and without suctioning technique.
