The basket that will not come
Allow about two minutes for two rounds. This scenario is teaching content; the score supports revision and does not assess clinical competence.
The scenario
- A 6 mm fragment is engaged in a nitinol basket in the proximal ureter after lasering in the kidney.
What you see
- You withdraw the basket.
- It moves freely for a few centimetres and then stops.
- The ureteric wall bunches around the stone.
