Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of absorption of fluids (water or saline) during ureteroscopy and to assess the effects on electrolyte levels. The investigators also want to measure how much better the urologist can see the ureter based on the type of irrigation fluid that is used.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The use of fluid irrigation is important during urologic procedures. There is little research done on the use of water versus saline for irrigation during ureteroscopy.

This study will evaluate whether the use of water or saline during ureteroscopy has any clinical implications. The investigators will compare the amount of fluid absorbed and differences in electrolytes between the two participant groups.

Ureteroscopy with water irrigation

Participants meeting medical requirements to undergo ureteroscopy will undergo a routine cystoscopy and ureteroscopy following standard techniques. Water will be used as the irrigation fluid during the ureteroscopy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Water

Intervention Type OTHER

Sterile water irrigation from standard sterile water bags will be used during ureteroscopy. Pulsed irrigation of the irrigant fluid with hand-held syringes will be used in all cases according to standard practice in order to visualize the upper urinary tract during the ureteroscopy procedure.

Ureteroscopy with saline irrigation

Participants meeting medical requirements to undergo ureteroscopy will undergo a routine cystoscopy and ureteroscopy following standard techniques. Saline will be used as the irrigation fluid during the ureteroscopy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Saline

Intervention Type OTHER

0.9% saline irrigation from standard saline bags will be used during ureteroscopy. Pulsed irrigation of the irrigant fluid with hand-held syringes will be used in all cases according to standard practice in order to visualize the upper urinary tract during the ureteroscopy procedure.
