This task is challenging because flowrate is not directly measured by commercially available ureteroscopic or fluid management systems. However, flowrate can be calculated using a hydrodynamic relationship based on measurable values during ureteroscopy.

Next, the tip of the ureteroscope was inserted into the renal pelvis of a silicone kidney\u2013ureter model and renal pelvis pressure was measured. In conjunction with the previously determined inflow resistance and known irrigation pressure values, flowrate was calculated and compared with experimentally measured values. All trials were performed in triplicate for working channel conditions: empty, 200\u2009\u03bcm laser fiber, 365\u2009\u03bcm laser fiber, and 1.9F stone basket.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Flowrate was linearly dependent on irrigation pressure for each working channel condition.
