The history of rigid ureterorenoscopy and the development of the Ureteromat are briefly described. The technical principles of the Ureteromat, the technique for its use, and the basic principles for performing ureterorenoscopy aided by this irrigation system are described. In our experience, the average operating time diminished from 66 to 22 minutes with the Ureteromat, severe complications dropped from 4 to 0.9 per cent, and the success rate for calculi in the ureter increased from 72 to 98 per cent. Furthermore, the Ureteromat facilitates other procedures (flexible ureteroscopy and flexible percutaneous nephrolithotomy). No complications ascribable to the Ureteromat were observed.
本文简要介绍了硬性输尿管肾镜的历史以及输尿管冲洗器（Ureteromat）的发展。阐述了输尿管冲洗器的技术原理、使用方法以及借助该冲洗系统进行输尿管肾镜检查的基本原则。根据我们的经验，使用输尿管冲洗器后，平均手术时间从66分钟缩短至22分钟，严重并发症发生率从4%降至0.9%，输尿管结石的成功率从72%提高至98%。此外，输尿管冲洗器还便于开展其他手术（软性输尿管镜检查和软性经皮肾镜取石术）。未观察到与输尿管冲洗器相关的并发症。
