Acucise Endopyelotomy Catheter

General

Title:	Ureteral Access Sheath Facilitates Inspection of Incision of Ureteropelvic Junction.

Published:	Journal of Endourology, March 2003

Authors:	Auge BK, Wu NZ, Pietrow PK, Delvecchio FC, Preminger GM.

Excerpt:	"The ureteral access sheath greatly facilitates placement of the Acucise device and allows rapid ureteroscopic confirmation of the incision. Insertion and removal of the ureteral access sheath and flexible ureteroscope do not compromise or significantly increase the duration of the procedure. Moreover, flexible ureteroscopic visualization allows confirmation of a complete transmural incision and potentially increases success rates of this minimally invasive approach to ureteropelvic junction obstruction."

Title:	Acucise Endopyelotomy: Evolution of a Less-Invasive Technology.

Published:	Journal of Endourology, April 1996

Authors:	Nakada SY, Pearle MS, Clayman RV.

Excerpt:	"On the basis of its track record and its minimally invasive nature, a compelling argument can be made for use of the Acucise device whenever an endopyelotomy is indicated."
