Abstract

Proximal migration of stones during ureteroscopic lithotripsy is a common problem that faces many urologists and reduces stone-free rates, which translates into higher costs and longer operative times. In a bid to increase stone-free rates, there are several anti-retropulsion devices on the market, to help urologists during ureteroscopic lithotripsy. We previously reviewed these anti-retropulsion devices and wish to update what is currently available on the market.
