Optimizing Stone-free Rates With Ureteroscopy.

Thanmaya G Reddy1, Dean G Assimos1.   

Abstract

Ureteroscopy is being increasingly utilized in the treatment and management of patients with renal and ureteral stones. Improving stone-free rates with ureteroscopy decreases the need for ancillary procedures and improves patient outcomes and satisfaction. This article reviews contemporary literature regarding the efficacy of a wide range of currently available techniques for improving stone-free rates with this procedure.
