Comparison of traditional and novel tip-flexible suctioning ureteral access sheath combined with flexible ureteroscope to treat unilateral renal calculi.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the safety and efficacy of novel tip-flexible suctioning ureteral access sheath (NTFS-UAS) and traditional ureteral access sheath (T-UAS) combined with flexible ureteroscope for treating unilateral renal calculi.

Materials and methods

The clinical data of 214 patients with unilateral renal calculi treated by NTFS-UAS (n = 102) and T-UAS (n = 112) combined with flexible ureteroscope from August 2021 to April 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, stone-related parameters, operative time, stone-free rates (SFR), hospitalization time and complication rate (CR) were analyzed.

Result

No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of demographic characteristics, stone-related parameters, intraoperative
