Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of ClearPetra, a flexible suction ureteral access sheath, for retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in children with kidney stones.
- 50 children were included, with great results: 100% achieved stone-free status and low postoperative pain scores.
- The findings suggest that using FANS-UAS is safe and effective, with minimal complications during the procedure.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate controversial pediatric urolithiasis issues systematically, integrating expert consensus and comprehensive guidelines reviews.
Methods: Two semi-structured online focus group meetings were conducted to discuss the study's need and content, review current literature, and prepare the initial survey. Data were collected through surveys and focus group discussions.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric urolithiasis is becoming more common globally, prompting a pilot study to evaluate outcomes using small, single-use ureteroscopes in treating urinary stones in children.
- This study included 26 pediatric patients at two European centers, analyzing variables like patient demographics, stone sizes, operating times, and success rates, with promising results showing a 92.3% stone-free rate and no complications.
- The findings suggest that the 7.5 Fr single-use ureteroscope is a safe and effective treatment method for pediatric urinary stones, though further research is needed to confirm these results.
