Summary
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of endoluminally administrated
isoproterenol on pelvic pressure increase during flexible ureterorenoscopy in 14 humans. We
propose that isoproterenol has potential of reducing intrarenal pressure during
ureterorenoscopies. Lower intrarenal pressures may have the advantage of facilitating the
procedure and reducing intraoperative complications as bleeding and infections.
