Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An open incision is made during the nephrolithotomy or pyelolithotomy procedure in order to remove a large staghorn renal calculus, which branches from the renal pelvis into the calyces and into the ureter. A nephroscope may be used during this procedure to visualize the nephrons and locate and remove fragments of calculi.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A flexible filiform tip is preferred when needed to bypass a ureteral stricture or obstruction for drainage.
