You know, I think forniceal ruptures, that's going to lead to infections and more issues there. But long-term, I'm not sure I can say that. But I would say, you know, ureter injuries... Is there a way that, you know, by measuring some of the pressures that we know whenever we're putting a lot of force onto a ureter? I don't know. I think more to come on that too.

But I think those are some of the severe complications that we see. And we've all seen the patient who's had ureteroscopy. and comes back later on with a stricture? You know, is that somebody else's ureteroscopy?

I mean, I always make the joke that that wasn't mine, that was somebody else's, but I'm pretty confident knowing how many ureteroscopies I've done and the complication rate of stricture, it's happened. And is there a way that we can use pressure monitoring to know how much force we're putting on for sheaths and how much force we're really putting onto the walls of the ureter

We don't have that technology yet, but I certainly think that that is a huge place where we could really see what's happening in the Yerder because those are very dreaded complications.

And I mean, there are definitely studies saying, you know, we don't really have an actual force like this is too much, this is too little. Everyone's ureter is a little bit different. But really interesting studies coming out very recently about ureters change with age, right? And we know that the distal ureter is different from the proximal ureter, and we lose some of those differences as we age.

And I think for me, I definitely find that the young guys tend to have very tight ureters, and I really struggle with them. And very unfortunately, they have to have stents longer, and they do the worst with stents, right? And we've all seen kind of that little old lady, ureters wide open, you put a stent in, they never even feel it. And I do think that we're going to find that

everyone's ureters are a little bit different. We treat them all the same, right? I mean, we've all learned and we all do it pretty much the same, but I think we're going to find that, you know, not everybody's ureter is the same and we do have to treat them very differently.
