Step-by-step guide to flexible and navigable suction ureteric access sheath (FANS)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a well-established treatment option for renal calculi. Stone dusting has drastically improved with the advent of high-power LASERs, but the challenge remains in clearing the fine dust and fragments which may become niduses for future stone recurrence. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the use of the Flexible And Navigable ureteric access Sheath (FANS), a novel invention which improves the aspiration of stone dust and fragments, and assess its safety and outcomes.
