A magnetic hydrogel for the efficient retrieval of kidney stone fragments during ureteroscopy

Abstract Only 60-75% of conventional kidney stone surgeries achieve complete stone-free status. Up to 30% of patients with residual fragments <2 mm in size experience subsequent stone-related complications. Here we demonstrate a stone retrieval technology in which fragments are rendered magnetiza...
