Explanation

A flexible ureteroscope is a medical tool used by doctors to examine the urinary tract. It's a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera at the end that can bend and move to follow the curves of the ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This tool allows doctors to see inside these tubes and detect any problems, such as kidney stones or tumors, without having to make any cuts or incisions in the body.
