摘要
You have just passed your flexible ureteroscope to the level of the upper-ureteral calculus, The stone is in view, but as you advance the laser fiber, it fails to exit the ureteroscope. All measures to advance the fiber prove futile, Sound familiar? We have found this to be an all too common and frustrating situation with the use of the flexible ureteroscope during laser lithotripsy. Our review of the literature reveals that this subject has not been adequately addressed, We have been successful with the aid of an open-ended 0.035-inch guidewire that admits the 320-mu m laser fiber.
