This week on The Backtable Podcast.
even if the patient is really unhappy, the reality is you did the safe thing and you're avoiding some of this. I think we're going to find as we're measuring these pressures, that does really correlate whenever we go in without a sheath, whenever we have very narrowed ureters, I think we're going to see that that pressure goes up.
Now, whether that translates into more pain, bad outcomes for the patient in terms of infection, I don't know yet, but it does seem like those at least correlate.
