Cuff-assisted irrigation increased flow from 17.39 mL/min at 150 mmHg to 40.40 mL/min at 300 mmHg (p < 0.001). At 300 mmHg, warming saline from 20 °C to 37 °C increased flow from 27.49 to 40.40 mL/min (p < 0.001). Probe insertion reduced flow by 4.4% (p = 0.157).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The 2-mm rigid cystoscope achieved flows up to 40.4 mL/min, within the benchmark range adopted for this benchtop evaluation. These findings support benchtop technical feasibility of the irrigation design. Clinical safety and recommended irrigation pressures remain to be established in closed-system and in vivo studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":19832,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Surgery International","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148977731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
