Ureteroscopy using a detachable access sheath

Acta Med Okayama. 2004 Aug;58(4):215-6. doi: 10.18926/AMO/32084.

Abstract

Ureteroscopy has evolved in many aspects, particularly in the flexibility and size of ureteroscopes. We have developed a new detachable access sheath to make ureteroscopic procedures more straight-forward and to reduce possible damage to delicate instruments used in the procedure.
