A new method for effective use of the ClearPetra ureteral access sheath for a giant ureteral stone

Abstract

The ClearPetra (Well Lead Medical, Guangzhou, China) has recently entered the market, enabling continuous stone fragmentation and removal while maintaining a continuous perfusion field of view. The efficacy and safety of the ClearPetra renal access sheath (RAS) in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) have been reported. However, no reports have described the use of the ClearPetra ureteral access sheath (UAS). Here, we report a case of successful ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) for a giant ureteral stone by effectively utilizing the ClearPetra UAS.
