Prospective Evaluation of the LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope

Kidney Stone

Flexible ureteroscopy has become the main surgical treatment for kidney stone disease. The procedure uses many types of ureteroscopes (disposable and non-disposable). Currently we are using the LithoVue Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope. The Health Canada approved LithoVue Elite disposable flexible ureteroscope will now offer novel pressure sensory capacity. In order to evaluate the new ureteroscopy we will be conducting a prospective multi-institution study in order to determine the main features, capacity and abilities of the new scope. We will evaluate the impact of intra renal pressure on pain, quality of life and possible infectious complications.
