Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of absorption of fluids (water or saline) during ureteroscopy and to assess the effects on electrolyte levels. The investigators also want to measure how much better the urologist can see the ureter based on the type of irrigation fluid that is used.
