The Effects of Water Versus Saline on Absorption Rates and Visualization During Ureteroscopy
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.

The use of fluid irrigation is important during urologic procedures. There is little research
done on the use of water versus saline for irrigation during ureteroscopy.
This study will evaluate whether the use of water or saline during ureteroscopy has any
clinical implications. The investigators will compare the amount of fluid absorbed and
differences in electrolytes between the two participant groups.
