Flexible ureteroscopy is a system, not a single instrument.
Understand the device interfaces within flexible ureteroscopy and retrograde intrarenal surgery, from access and visualization to fragment management.
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) uses a flexible ureteroscope to access the upper urinary tract and, where indicated, support endoscopic stone management. A procedural setup may involve imaging hardware, guidewires, access sheaths, laser fibres, retrieval baskets, irrigation arrangements and ureteral stents. Each component affects the usability of others.
When discussing devices for flexible ureteroscopy, TORSH focuses on the fit between scope and working-channel accessories, the choice of access system, imaging connections, irrigation and outflow, and retrieval needs. The balance among these elements is procedure- and patient-specific. Device specifications and the surgical team’s judgement remain central.
