Abstract
With technological advances in flexible ureteroscopes upper urinary tract endoscopy has become the standard for diagnosis and treatment of select upper tract stones and urothelial cancers. While flexible scopes have greatly expanded endourological patient care, they require frequent repair. Common malfunctions include loss of deflection, broken optical fibers and working channel damage.1 Fortunately, when these malfunctions occur it is possible to modify or abort a procedure with little risk of complication. We report a case of ureteroscope malfunction in which the ureteroscope locked in a kinked position within the renal pelvis.
