Both single-use reusable models available. The high cost purchase repair has led the development options. This trial compared a digital flexible ureteroscope (LithoVue, Boston Scientific) state-of-the art (Flex-Xc, Storz) in multicenter, prospective randomized from Group. METHODS: Patients were across 3 sites either single use (n=53) or (n=49) (brand new at each site only for study cases). Ureteroscopies performed using standardized technique patients with renal stone burdens ranging 5-20 mm. was until it damaged point that major required. Primary outcomes stone-free rate 6-10 weeks post-procedure secondary included length surgery, laser time, basketing deflection scope beginning end case, rating scale handling. RESULTS: mean age 57.9 years (±13.2), 53.3% male, 73% Caucasian, 77.6% non-Hispanic Latino. Upward downward significantly better both (p<0.007) case (p<0.001, Table 1) LithoVue. Performance comparable between scopes all other intraoperative measures (Table 1). However, handling as rated surgeon favored maneuverability (p=0.004), visualization (p<0.001), ability target on overall (p<0.001). There no difference free 4-10 days weeks). failed required total 5 repairs during (2 OSU Mayo, 1 UBC) averaged 6.6 uses before repair. CONCLUSIONS: LithoVue had angles pre- post-operatively when Flex-Xc. Surgeons preferred visualization, although produced similar rates. breakage is concerning equivalent patient outcomes.
