Abstract
Digital disposable nephroscopes represent a recent advancement in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures, offering several benefits over their reusable counterparts, such as reducing cross-contamination risks, ensuring high image quality and offering added advantage of a plug & play platform minimising need for cables & additional processors thereby reducing upfront capital investment. With a worldwide shift to single use scopes as seen in flexible ureteroscopy we present an interesting case perhaps the first in world where a 53/male with a complete staghorn stone measuring 3.8 cm/guys score 4 underwent mini PCNL with a digital nephroscope & suction sheath.
