The physical properties, suitability and cost of six instruments used for elective percutaneous renal endoscopy have been evaluated. Three were rigid and three were flexible. The optics, flow rate and accessories of the rigid instruments have been demonstrated to be superior to the flexible instruments. Flexible instruments, however, were used in 15% of our 70 elective percutaneous operations. The 21-Charr cystoscope was adequate for extracting smaller calculi, but it was necessary to use the Storz and Wolf rigid nephroscopes when ultrasonic disruption was required. Based on our data, improvements and modifications to both flexible and rigid instrument design are suggested.
对用于选择性经皮肾镜检查的六种器械的物理特性、适用性和成本进行了评估。其中三种是硬性器械,三种是软性器械。已证明硬性器械的光学性能、流速和配件优于软性器械。然而,在我们的70例选择性经皮手术中,有15%使用了软性器械。21号Charr膀胱镜足以取出较小的结石,但当需要超声破碎时,则必须使用Storz和Wolf硬性肾镜。根据我们的数据,建议对软性和硬性器械的设计进行改进和改良。
