Conventional FANS brands are standardised within each centre but may vary between centres. Conventional FANS depends largely on passive bending generated by the flexible ureteroscope inside the sheath. A small ureteroscope may have limited ability to bend and drive a conventional sheath into the lower calyx. If conventional sheath access to the lower pole calyx fails, surgeons may need baskets to relocate stones or retrieve fragments.
