Measure
Reusable Fiberoptic Ureteroscope
For this arm, participants will receive the ureteroscopy for their kidney and ureter stones using reusable fiberoptic flexible ureteroscope (URF-P6, Olympus). The surgical method of the ureteroscopy will be a standard fashion same as other arms. reusable fiberoptic ureteroscope: We will use reusable fiberoptic ureteroscopes for the treatment of kidney and ureter stones.
Disposable Digital Ureteroscope
For this arm, participants will receive the ureteroscopy for their kidney and ureter stones using disposable digital flexible ureteroscope (LithoVue, Boston Scientific). The surgical method of the ureteroscopy will be a standard fashion same as other arms. disposable digital ureteroscope: We will use disposable digital ureteroscopes for the treatment of kidney and ureter stones.
