Ureteral Access Sheath : Irrigation Rate and Intrarenal Pressure
Ureteral access sheaths brought in use by urologists provide access to the upper urinary tract during ureteroscopy. It aids in minimizing damage caused to the ureter by facilitating repeated passage for stone removal. In modern procedures, ureteral access sheaths have enhanced efficiency by avoiding the need for repeated introduction of guide wires.
The ongoing research and development around ureteral access sheath aims to improve its function and design. Exhaustive research has been conducted to investigate the relationship between irrigation rate and intrarenal pressure.
