You have accessJournal of UrologySurgical Technology p=0.043). Even at the lowest fluoroscopy settings, the average radiation used was significantly higher when using the conventional needle compared to the laser-guided needle (1.5 vs 0.81 mGy; p=0.04). Access was rated to be significantly easier using the laser-guided technique vs the conventional needle (4.6 vs 6.6/10; p=0.021). 80% of participants preferred the laser-guided technique to establish renal access.
