Summary

Flexible ureteroscopy is characterized as first-line therapy for renal stones \< 2 cm in size. Stones are commonly treated with dusting or fragmentation techniques which requires passage of stone fragments after surgery. Quoted stone free rate after flexible ureteroscopy is approximately 40-60% with a dusting technique. Residual fragments are often under 1mm in size and can layer in the lower pole of the kidney, complicating spontaneous stone passage. Improving the stone free rate after surgery decreases the need for secondary surgeries and decreases risk of future stone events.

Numerous techniques have been proposed to increase stone passage including positional changes and percussion therapy. To date, there is overall limited data a lack of techniques that can be readily available in the outpatient setting, easily added to scheduled appointments, reproducible results and well tolerated by patients.
