Flexible ureterorenoscopy and laser in treatment of pathology of upper urinary tract

MUDr.Jan Zaplatílek
Urologické oddělení, Oblastní nemocnice Mladá Boleslav

Flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) is an endoscopic method for complete visualization of upper urinary tract. Development of instruments,

increased flexibility of endoscopes, use of access sheaths and nitinol baskets together with particulary laser technology have allowed therapeutic

use FURS. Nowadays these minimally invasive procedures are used for treatment of kidney stones, tumors of upper urinary tract and

ureteral stenosis, especially pyeloureteral junction, i.e. procedures generally grouped under the term “retrograde intrarenal surgery” (RIRS).

Keywords: flexible ureterorenoscopy, laser, retrograde intrarenal surgery
