What External and Internal Drivers Are Contributing to the Growth of the Flexible And Semi-Rigid Ureteroscopy Market?
The growth of the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is anticipated to be driven by the growing popularity of minimally invasive procedures. These procedures, which involve smaller incisions or usage of natural body openings, have seen a surge in preference due to their advantages such as reduced recovery time, less pain and scarring, lowered risk of infection, and better surgical results, thereby providing a safer and more desirable alternative for patients. Flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy, which are minimally invasive, serve as tools for diagnosing and treating conditions of the urinary tract like kidney stones and tumors with precise accessibility and treatment causing minimal trauma. As an illustration, US-based robotic products manufacturer, Intuitive Surgical Inc., reported in January 2024 that their da Vinci surgical systems, which use a minimally invasive surgical approach, saw a 12% increase in placements during the fourth quarter of 2023 (415 units), as compared to 2022. Consequently, this escalating preference for minimally invasive procedures is fueling the expansion of the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market.

What Are the Key Market Trends in the Flexible And Semi-Rigid Ureteroscopy Market Over the Coming Years?
To enhance procedural effectiveness and clinical outcomes, large firms in the semi-rigid and flexible ureteroscopy market are prioritizing technological progress such as the implementation of digital flexible ureteroscopes. This type of medical apparatus is typically used in urology to diagnose and treat urinary tract conditions like kidney stones, tumors, and strictures. For example, Boston Scientific, a medical technology company based in the United States, was approved by the US FDA for its LithoVue Elite System in February 2023. This ureteroscope is the first to provide real-time intrarenal pressure (IRP) monitoring during ureteroscopy procedures, often used to identify and address kidney stones. It offers unique features including a single-use design that lowers infection risks associated with reusable scopes and makes patient care more efficient. The system also comes with programmable buttons on the ureteroscope handle, eliminating the need for staff coordination by directly controlling imaging functions.
