Synopsis:
While kidney stone removal is a standard clinical procedure, surgeons can encounter stones which lie in recessed areas that are challenging to reach. Particularly, stones which are present in the lower pole (accounting for 25-35% of all kidney stones [PMC10039418]) can be dffcult due to anatomical constraints and the limited maneuverability of existing ureteroscopes and ureteroscopic tools. We hypothesize that an independently steerable stone retrieval basket will provide improved access to dffcult-to-reach kidney regions, enabling quicker stone removals compared to standard techniques.
