MAESTRO PORTAL - PROCEDURE - Flexible Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy of Lower Pole Stones

After performing flexible cystoscopy the surgeon accesses the renal system with a flexible ureteroscope. The stones are relocated using a stone basket to ensure safe laser lithotripsy in the upper pole. Stone treatment is performed with a Holmium:YAG laser. Residual fragments are removed using a 6-wire nitinol basket.
