Urolithiasis is a common disease with increasing prevalence across all ages. A common treatment option for smaller kidney stones is flexible ureterorenoscopy (fURS), where a flexible ureteroscope (FU) is used for stone removal and to inspect the renal collecting system. The handling of the flexible ureteroscope and end effectors (EEs), however, is challenging and requires two surgeons. In this article, we introduce a modular robotic system for endoscope manipulation, which enables solo surgery (SSU) and is adaptable to various hand-held FUs. Both the developed hardware components and the proposed workflow and its representation in software are described. We then present and discuss the results of an initial user study. Finally, we describe subsequent developmental steps towards more extensive testing by clinical staff.
