BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
CT scans taken prior to surgery. The tracking system links the surgical instruments that will
be used during the procedure to the computer. In urology, the urologist inserts a cystoscope
or ureterscope into the patient’s urethra either directly or over a guide wire to locate the
target kidney, ureter or bladder stone. Once the stone is located, a thin fiberoptic is
introduced into the working channel of the endoscope and is advanced until it comes into
contact with the stone and disintegrates or fragments.
