The Anesthesia
This procedure is often done in combination with ureteral stent placements/exchanges, laser lithotripsy, etc. Protective eye-wear - In the event that there will be a laser lithotripsy, make sure you have the clear goggles for BOTH you and the patient. Have lead - The C-arm will be employed, so be sure to have lead available and be ready to adjust the table.
