Following anesthesia, the genitalia were prepped and draped in the standard surgical fashion and a flexible ureteroscope (Olympus URF-V, Olympus American, Center Valley, PA) was used to navigate the urogenital sinus to the ureteral orifice into which a 5 French ureteral catheter was advanced. Retrograde pyelogram with Omnipaque 350 contrast medium (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI) and fluoroscopy were used to obtain evaluation of anatomy. Ureteroscopy was performed by introducing the endoscope into the ureter over a guide wire. The laser fibers (600 um) with 2 cm cylindrical-diffusing tips (MedLight S.A., Switzerland) were positioned within a major calyx to provide illumination to the related polar moiety. At least 1 ablation was performed through the ureteroscope on each animal. When 2 simultaneous sites of ablation were performed, one additional laser fiber was guided into the upper pole of the kidney through a ureteral access catheter and visual confirmation was achieved with ureteroscopy (fig. 1, c–e ).
Omnipaque 350 contrast
Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in United States
Omnipaque 350 is a non-ionic iodinated contrast medium used for diagnostic imaging procedures. It contains iohexol as the active ingredient, which is a water-soluble, tri-iodinated compound. Omnipaque 350 is administered intravenously or through other routes to enhance the visualization of internal structures and organs during radiographic examinations.

Computed tomography angiography head/neck scanning protocol was performed on the 128-multislice Siemens Somatom AS + scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). Approximately 100 mL of Omnipaque350 contrast (GE Healthcare, WI, USA) was injected at a rate of 5 mL/s followed by 30 mL of normal saline flush injected at the same rate. Scanning was performed from the aortic arch through the vertex. The scanning parameters were as follows: quality reference = 250 mAs; tube voltage = 120 kV; pitch = 0.9; rotation time = 0.5; collimation = 128 × 0.6 mm2; slice thickness: 0.6 mm; FOV = 300 × 300 mm2; matrix = 512 × 512; and voxel size = 0.35 × 0.35 × 0.5 mm3.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
