Flexible ureterorenoscopic management of upper tract pathologies

Athanasios Papatsoris et al. Urol Res. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

The last decade flexible ureteroscopy has progressed from an awkward diagnostic procedure with limited visualization to a precise surgical intervention allowing access to the entire collecting system. In this review, we present the current status and future perspectives of the ureterorenoscopic management of urolithiasis and non-stone-related upper tract pathologies.
