The LithoView Elite does feel a little bit more substantial in your hand than the original one, but I still think they all kind of feel a little more plasticky than kind of your reusable scope where you really feel that bulk in your hand that feels very steady.

Yeah. I mean, I think also with some of the disposables that far away, there's kind of that, oh gosh, there's like a halo almost. It's kind of black in the background, right? There's a little bit of the abyss look behind you. But I do think it focuses pretty well in really what you're looking at.

I still think that some of the times whenever you're using the laser, you get a little bit of feedback on those disposable ones that you don't get in the reusable ones. But I really like having the disposables, particularly for these really large stones, because I've definitely put those scopes in places in the kidney that I would never put a reusable scope because I would break it.

I'd be too afraid I'd break it. And so far, I have not broken one of the disposable scopes in the patient. So fingers crossed that that does not happen in my next cases. But the reality is, is it really has added a lot to be able to get, you know, get scopes where they really haven't been able to go before.

I am definitely a lot more cautious as I'm using my hand irrigation. I'm paying a lot more attention whenever I take the scope and my resident is using the hand irrigation or an assistant is using it as to what they're doing. And so I can really be paying a lot of attention just watching the screen, knowing what they're doing too. I'm definitely very aware that a sheath is a really good thing.

When I haven't used a sheath with it, I've been pretty nervous as that pressure is going up. And I'm pretty careful to sort of take a break, give the kidney a little bit of a break if I'm noticing that the pressure is going up and just allow some of that fluid to drain out. maybe even pushing my sheath a little bit higher.

But a lot more of it is I'm just being a lot more cautious than I really have been before. Not to say that I'm going crazy doing ureteroscopies or anything, but the reality is I'm definitely seeing it and I'm kind of slowing down, making sure that I keep that pressure a little bit lower. It's not adding a whole lot of time to do it. I mean, I'm not seeing huge differences in time.
