Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "retrospective analysis of stone basket combined with flexible ureteroscope holmium laser lithotripsy in the treatment of lower calyceal stones".Literature summary: the study was aimed to investigate the efficacy of stone baskets combined with flexible ureteroscope holmium laser lithotripsy (furl) in the treatment of lower calyceal stones (lcs).A total of 216 patients with lcs who underwent furl were analyzed and divided into observation group (n=129) and control group (n=87).The short term stone clearance rate (85.27% vs.66.67%) and long-term stone clearance rate (95.35% vs.85.06%) of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group; the incidence rate of steinstrasse (0% vs.8.05%) and overall complications (7.75% vs.16.09%) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group.This study concluded that stone basket combined with furl was safe and feasible for the treatment of lcs, which could improve the stone clearance rate and reduce the risk of steinstrasse formation after the operation.Type of adverse events/number of patients, observation group (n = 129), fever - 7 patients, renal colic - 3 patients.Control group (n = 87), fever - 5 patients, renal colic - 7 patients, perinephric hematoma - 2 patients.The author used an unknown model of olympus electronic ureteroscope.Model urf-v was selected as a representative product.
