With increasing indications and utilization efforts concentrate on increased maneuverability and durability of scopes while decreasing surgeons’ fatigue and radiation exposure. After the safety tests in pigs and maneuverability tests on the kidney model of Minnesota University, we planned to search safety and effectivity of the new «Remote robotic control system for flexible Ureterorenoscopy» called «Roboflex Avicenna» (ELMED, Turkey). walterfarah.net/tag/roboflex-avicenna/ Conclusions Robot assisted flexible ureterorenoscopy using Roboflex has been detected as a safe and effective treatment method. It offers performing the fURS procedure out of radiation exposure area while sitting.
