Abstract

The complex and fragile nature of flexible ureteroscopes leads to issues regarding their reliability and maintenance costs. The durability of ureteroscopes is related not only to their design but also to the technique used by and experience of the operator. The current chapter provides information on how to use, clean, sterilize, and store flexible ureteroscopes in order to avoid costly repairs. The impact of single-use ureteroscopes is also discussed.
