With the ENDO FMS UROLOGY system, there was a significant reduction in the mean ureteroscopy time: 32% less with the rigid instrument and 53% less with the flexible instrument. This seems to be attributable to a wider working space and highly improved visibility. The integrated suction at constant flow allows efficient evacuation of stone fragments while limiting cavity pressure. These results, obtained on 47 patients, should be confirmed by larger randomized studies.
