Instrumentation is the key to success in endourology. Indeed, endourology could be redefined as "enginurology," as the marriage between engineering and urology, and developing instrumentation to improve patient outcomes is the key facilitator in the advancement of minimally-invasive techniques. This review article will identify the evidence base that supports our current recommendations for equipment used during ureteroscopy.
器械设备是腔内泌尿外科成功的关键。实际上,腔内泌尿外科可重新定义为“工程泌尿学”,即工程学与泌尿学的结合,而开发器械设备以改善患者治疗效果是微创技术进步的关键推动因素。这篇综述文章将确定支持我们目前输尿管镜检查所用设备推荐意见的证据基础。
