Expanding use of ureteral access sheath for stones larger than access sheath's internal diameter.

Abstract

The internal diameter of the ureteral access sheath limits the size of stones that can be removed during flexible ureteroscopy. We describe a technique that allows removal of larger stones, which are entrapped and removed en bloc with the access sheath. This new technique was shown to be efficient and safe.
