A Method for Controlling Suction and Specimen Collection During Endoscopic Procedures
A method to precisely control the amount of pressure applied by the fluid flow from the lithotripsy device with a stopcock.
Background:
In percutaneous nephrolithotomy, the urologist inserts a needle into the kidney, dilating a tract into which a sheath is inserted. Fluid irrigation and lithotripsy are then used to break up and retrieve kidney stones...
