Current utility, instruments, and future directions for intra-renal pressure management during ureteroscopy: scoping review by global research in intra-renal pressure collaborative group initiative.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Technical advancements and intrarenal pressure are synergistic in improving perioperative outcomes during flexible ureteroscopy (FURS). Mismanaged intra-renal pressure (IRP) has negative consequences and it is associated with an increased risk of sepsis, bleeding, pelvicalyceal fluid extravasation, and even collecting system injuries and acute as well as chronic renal failure. The cornerstone of a safe FURS is the ability to continuously monitor IRP to avoid elevation of IRP above the normal range of 10 mmHg.

Objectives

This scoping review aims to report the current state of real-time IRP monitoring in in vivo clinical studies and the various monitoring methods and technology to understand how this may be best used in daily clinical practice.
