Hazard in Use of Stone Basket / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

A gentle manipulation and a thorough premanipulative checking of urological instruments are very important to prevent accidents occurring during urological instrumentation. The case of a 40 year old ale with a left ureteral calculi in whom a Johnson Stone Disloger successfully caught the stone but in whom repeated attempts at withdrawal of the dislodger were unsuccessful is reported. An open ureterolithotomy was required to remove the stone which was tightly packed in the islodger's basket. This case demonstrates that despite gentle manipulation and a thorough premanipulative checking of the instrument, accidents in instrumentation can occur.
