Variable intrarenal pressure during endorenal (stone) surgery may affect renal function adversely. An automatic pressurized pump was compared with manual hand-pump irrigation in 38 patients. The automatic pump gave lower (mean 38 versus 62 mmHg, P=0.005) and more consistent intrarenal pressure, and a better view for the surgeon.

Comment: Machine beats human.
