Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated two new single-use ureteroscopes: a semirigid one with a flexible tip and a fully flexible model, assessing their performance across ten surgeries.
- Patient satisfaction and clinical metrics like image quality, deflection, and maneuverability were rated on a scale from 0 to 10, revealing a decline in scores during procedures for both types of scopes.
- Overall, the flexible ureteroscope had a higher preoperative image quality rating compared to the semirigid version, but both types allowed for standard ureteroscopy in a majority of their respective procedures despite decreasing performance during surgery.
