Flexible ureteroscopy without ureteral access sheath

C. Cristallo et al.

Summary: This study compares the safety and efficacy of flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy (FURS) with and without ureteral access sheath (UAS). The results show that FURS without UAS is as safe as FURS with UAS but requires fewer ancillary procedures and has a shorter operative time.

Summary: The study found that RIRS showed acceptable efficacy and safety in the treatment of renal pelvic stones larger than 2 cm compared to PCNL. There were minor differences between the two procedures in terms of operative time and stone clearance rates.

Does ureteral access sheath have an impact on ureteral injury

Mehmet Kazim Asutay et al.

Summary: This review presents evidence that the use of ureteral access sheath does not significantly increase the risk of ureteral injury. Pre-stented patients have a lower risk of ureteral injury. However, there is insufficient data to support the claim that ureteral access sheath prevents ureteral injury.

Does ureteral access sheath affect the outcomes of retrograde intrarenal surgery: a prospective study

Erman Damar et al.

Summary: The study found that similar success and acceptable complication rates can be achieved without using UAS compared to using UAS during RIRS. However, using UAS may provide an advantage in reducing postoperative pain after RIRS.

The effect of optical dilatation before retrograde intrarenal surgery on success and complications: Results of the RIRSearch group study

Eyup Burak Sancak et al.

Summary: The study found that optical dilatation with sURS before RIRS can increase the rate of UAS placement and reduce intraoperative complications, thus improving the surgical success rate.

Kristen Meier et al.

Summary: This study investigated patterns of ureteral access sheath (UAS) use during ureteroscopy (URS) and associated outcomes across practices in Michigan. The results showed that UAS usage varied greatly across practices, with increased odds of postoperative emergency department visits and hospitalizations, as well as decreased odds of being stone free.

G. Bozzini et al.

Summary: The study compared intraoperative ureteral injuries in RIRS with UAS insertion to those without UAS insertion, finding that UAS insertion does not increase the risk of ureteral injuries but can reduce the rate of postoperative infections.

Summary: The study found that preoperative stenting significantly increased the stone-free rate after fURS and potentially reduced complications. Risk of bias assessment showed that most studies had low to moderate risk, indicating the reliability of the results.
