Through a collaborative effort between the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), and Boston Scientific, several LithoVue scopes were donated to Guyana’s largest public hospital.
The LithoVue system, a state-of-the-art flexible camera, enables urologists to access and treat stones in the ureter and kidneys with remarkable precision. This generous contribution has already facilitated the treatment of around 28 patients suffering from complex renal stone diseases.
The advanced design of the LithoVue ureteroscopes allows urologists to reach stones in difficult areas of the kidney without making any incisions. When used alongside a holmium laser, these scopes significantly reduce surgery times and hospital stays, enabling many patients to undergo same-day surgeries for large renal stones.
The donation was made by Caribbean Vending Services who is the distributor for Boston Scientific Technologies. Dr Chris Prashad made the donation on behalf of the company. It is also important to note that Boston Scientific boasts the world’s leading medical consumables.
