- Abstract
We describe ureteroscopic lithotripsy using a revolving 1.5F tipless basket. After passing a laser fiber alongsidethe basket and performing lithotripsy, one uses a rotary wheel at the base of the basket handle to spinthe stone to a different area for further fragmentation. This allows complete stone fragmentation, in contrastto traditional laser baskets, which bore a hole through the center of the stone. Irrigation flow testing demonstratedsignificant advantages with the 1.5F basket with or without a laser fiber alongside the basket comparedwith traditional baskets.
