Abstract Content

Introduction

Working channel positions of flexible ureteroscopes can greatly impact the success and efficiency of surgical procedures. The study aimed to compare different working channel positions (WCP) and evaluate their performance in flexible ureteroscopy.

Materials and Methods

An experienced endourologist performed navigation and stone interaction tasks in a 3D-printed kidney model using four scopes with different WCP. Completion times, the percentage of dots reached, wrist range of motion, and operator fatigue were recorded.

Results

Conclusions

Our findings provide valuable data to guide the selection of appropriate scopes to enhance efficacy and ergonomics associated with the RIRS procedure. The in vitro results also offer recommendations for optimal working channel positions in different clinical scenarios, ultimately leading to improved clinical practices and patient satisfaction
