Abstract

Nowadays ureteroscopies and renoscopies have become the mainstay treatment for several urinary tract diseases, such as urolithiasis. The minimally invasive treatment era has been made possible due to the technological advancements in endoscopes and to a greater knowledge on the collecting system morph-physiology. It has been demonstrated that endoscopic procedures of the upper urinary tract can trigger deleterious events in renal function and patient well-being by increasing intrarenal pressure. The present chapter not only discusses on the importance of irrigation fluids and systems for a safe urinary endoscopy but also presents new concepts regarding the use of pharmacological agents to tackle high intrarenal pressures.
