Chair(s)

At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:

Analyze the principles of fluid dynamics (specifically pressure and temperature) within the renal collecting system.
Explain how automated irrigation systems can optimize these parameters to improve safety and efficacy in flexible ureteroscopy.
Understand the design, functionality, and clinical outcomes of integrated irrigation/suction platforms, listing the key merits and demerits.
Integrate the principles of controlled irrigation and suction into surgical strategy to enhance stone clearance, minimize complications, and improve overall procedural workflow.
