Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current endoluminal technology has acutely improved owing to the advancement of the ureteroscope, laser equipment, ureteral access sheath, miniaturized devices, and robotics. All stone management approaches aim at an improved patient QOL. Therefore, we must develop strategies and outcomes with less invasiveness, fewer complications, and less recurrence. There are now a lot of available tools in our clinical practice and we must know and understand how to use them correctly. For this Special Issue, we would like you to share your minds and spread the importance and necessity of the specific endoluminal field as a sub-specialty.
Dr. Takaaki Inoue
Guest Editor
