Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urolithiasis is one of the most frequent urologic pathologies across the globe, and its incidence is increasing due to diet habits and the general life style. However, risk factors are much better understood nowadays, allowing urologists to identify these risks more efficiently, improving the metaphylaxis of urolithiasis. Kidney stones may be therapeutically sanctioned using multiple methods. The immense majority of the cases may be treated nowadays using minimally invasive techniques. Technological progress has significantly impacted these methods, especially the flexible ureteroscopic approach for treating kidney stones, as the efficacy and safety of the procedures have been improved, and these procedures are becoming more affordable. In the last few years we have witnessed the development of multiple models of single-use endoscopes as well as new accessory instruments such as suction access sheaths.
