Intrarenal Pressure Monitoring During Ureteroscopy: A Delphi Panel Consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Elevated intrarenal pressure (IRP) may increase the risk of complications in patients undergoing ureteroscopy. As there is limited clarity on a threshold value for high IRP, how to manage high IRP, or which patients are at greater risk of complications due to high IRP, we used the Delphi methodology to understand expert opinion in this area.

Methods

The Delphi process comprised two online surveys and an in-person meeting. During the in-person meeting, areas of disagreement and consensus were explored.
