Factors affecting the success of ureteroscopy in management of ureteral stone diseases in children.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:A variety of ureteroscopic irrigation systems are available, ranging from gravity-driven pressure bags to hand-operated pumps. Endoscopic valves maintain a watertight seal during ureteroscopy (URS) while facilitating passage of instruments. The clinical utility and ergonomics of such devices have...
