Abstract:This study shows that both devices are highly effective in achieving an adequate treatment of kidney stones. The reason for difference in total surgery and fluoroscopy time, favorable to Lithovue, are not clear. However, one explanation for this finding could be the better optical resolution, deflection capacity, field of view an irrigation flow compared to USCOPE 3022, as was shown in previous reports.
