  • Title: Flexible ureteropyeloscopy with modular, "disposable" endoscope.
    Author: Bagley DH.
    Journal: Urology; 1987 Mar; 29(3):296-300. PubMed ID: 3824726.
    Abstract:
    A flexible modular ureteropyeloscope has been utilized in 36 patients. The flexible tips of this instrument can be replaced and have been available in sizes 6.0F, 8.5F, and 11.0F. The instrument was passed successfully into the ureter in 37 of 38 patients. The most frequent indications were surveillance for fragments after lithotripsy and for diagnosis of radiographic abnormalities in the upper tracts. The high success rate in these patients supports wider application of these techniques and indicates the potential for therapeutic procedures through flexible ureteroscopes.
