Abstract
The peel-away introducer sheath set, originally designed for the antegrade insertion of the silicone rubber Universal* stent, also is useful for antegrade or retrograde basketing of ureteral stones, negotiation of a dilated renal pelvis and tortuous ureter with minimal trauma, retrograde flushing of ureteral stones for percutaneous extraction, removal of dislodged stents from the renal pelvis and ureteral examination with a flexible endoscope or rigid ureteropyeloscope.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
