First use and evaluation of a novel 6.3 Fr disposable flexible ureteroscope for stone management in duplex kidney: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) is increasingly used as the first-line treatment for urological procedures. Disposable digital (dd-)FURS has been developed to overcome limitations such as durability, degradation, and repair cost of reusable scopes. The diameter of commercially-available models ranges from 7.5-9.9 Fr. This study aimed to report the first clinical application of a novel 6.3 Fr HU30M HugeMed dd-FURS.

Case description

We present the case of a 61-year-old female diagnosed with a left ureteric (8 mm × 7 mm) and two renal stones (6 mm × 5 mm and 5 mm × 3 mm) located at both moieties of her duplex kidney. She was opted for elective flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy. The 6.3 Fr dd-FURS was preferred to overcome the challenging anatomy. No intra-/peri-operati
