Abstract
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine if use of an automated irrigation pump (AIP) during ureteroscopy (URS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) affects circulating nurse labor, irrigation-related issues, and surgeon and nurse satisfaction when compared to manual hand pump (HP) irrigation. Methods: Eighty consecutive adult patients undergoing unilateral URS or PCNL were prospectively randomized to irrigation with the HP...
