Summary:This report describes the design, availability, repair facilities and costs of rigid ureteroscopes. Clinical factors affecting design are detailed. A classification is given. A new test of flow dynamics is described. Short operating ureteroscopes with a stable or integral telescope system appear to be superior to other types, especially as they may be used for antegrade ureteroscopy.
