Summary

This is a prospective, interventional single blinded, randomized, single-center study designed to compare the efficacy of a ureteral access sheath with integrated suction (FANS) versus a standard ureteral access sheath (UAS) in patients undergoing ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy for renal stones. The hypothesis is that the use of the FANS device improves stone-free rates and reduces postoperative infectious complications compared to the standard sheath.

Conditions

  • Renal Calculi

Interventions

DEVICE

Standard ureteral access sheath

Participants undergo flexible ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy using a standard ureteral access sheath according to institutional practice.

DEVICE

Flexible and Navigable Suction (FANS) Ureteral Access Sheath

The Flexible and Navigable Suction (FANS) ureteral access sheath (Elephant-II), which enables active suction during flexible ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy.
