About this trial

This is a phase I feasibility study to investigate the use of a novel intelligent robotic retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) platform. The TaloStone T1000 RIRS system can manipulate the flexible ureteroscope, with remote control of the instruments (laser fibre or basket) and ureteral access sheath movements. Beyond teleoperation, the TaloStone T1000 RIRS system integrates AI perception models and decision-making algorithms to enable the supervised autonomous execution of critical tasks within the RIRS workflow.
