Radiation exposure in emergency ureteric stenting: A subgroup analysis by operator

To review radiation exposure during emergency ureteric stent insertion to identify differences based on operator experience, specialty operator and stone characteristics. A retrospective audit over 10 years was performed for patients who underwent emergency stent insertion for urolithiasis with intraoperative fluoroscopy. Outcomes measured included operator experience, radiation exposure (mGy), dose area product (Gy/cm ), fluoroscopy time, stone characteristics and patient BMI. Analysis was performed in IBM SPSS Version 28.
