Description
Kidney stones can be blasted by a laser through a thin scope, and Mohammad Al-Zubi and co-authors asked whether a guide sheath helps clear the stones, in work from twenty twenty-six. Charts covered more than one hundred patients treated at one center over two years. About half had the sheath used, and half did not.
Scans a few weeks after surgery checked who was stone-free. The sheath group had shorter surgery times and a higher stone-free rate. Harm rates were much the same in both groups. The authors back sheath use as a simple way to speed the work and clear more stone. They note the study looks back at charts, so a planned trial would test the gain more firmly.
