Application of tip-flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath in flexible ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy for renal stones in a child after pyeloplasty: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore the application of tip-flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath-assisted retrograde intrarenal stone surgery/flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy in children.

Patients and methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a pediatric patient who developed kidney stones following pyeloplasty for congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The child underwent tip-flexible vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath-assisted retrograde intrarenal stone surgery under general anesthesia. Inpatient records and postoperative follow-up results were collected.

Results

The kidney stones were utterly removed, and there were no complications like infection, bleeding, or secondary obstruction. Moreover, there was no significant damage
