The Impact of Ureteral Access Sheath Design on Ease of Placement and Ureteral Wall Injury During Flexible Ureteroscopy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cook Flexor and Boston Scientific Navigator for Renal Stone and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 95 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether one of two ureteral access sheaths is safer for patients undergoing ureteroscopy. Both sheaths are FDA approved devices and commercially available. The investigators will compare the ability of sheaths to access the kidney through the ureter and will compare damage done to the ureter after completion of the procedure. Access sheaths are standard of care for this procedure; this study seeks to optimize outcomes for patients. Patients undergoing ureteroscopy who do not have ureteral stents in place and who have not had an ipsilateral procedure within 90 days will be recruited and consented.
