Mathematical modelling of fluid flows during ureteroscopic kidney stone removal
- Abstract:
-
A ureteroscope is a hand-held surgical device. The scope consists of a handle and a long, thin shaft which is inserted through the urethra of the anaesthetised patient; visualisation is provided by a microscopic camera embedded in the scope tip. To prevent stone debris and blood from obscuring the image, a weak saline solution continuously flows from a suspended saline bag, through a long, thin cylindrical channel within the ureteroscope shaft -- the working channel -- an...
