Experimental Assessment of New Generation of Ureteral Stents: Biodegradable and Antireflux Properties.

abstract：:The authors have developed an ultrasonic aspirator to assist in urologic endoscopic surgery. It appeared that ultrasonic aspiration of bladder tumors was clinically efficient in transurethral surgery. Tumors 1 to 2 cm in diameter could be aspirated completely with this instrument alone. The application of the ultrason...
