Could retrograde intrarenal surgery be a safe and effective alternative to mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy ın the management of relatively large (20–30 mm) stones? A critical evaluation

Purpose To compare the outcomes of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in patients with renal stones sizing 2–3 cm. Methods A total of 566 patients from 6 institutions who underwent mPCNL ( n = 440) and RIRS ( n = 126) procedures were enrolled in our...

Zusammenfassung:	Purpose To compare the outcomes of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in patients with renal stones sizing 2–3 cm. Methods A total of 566 patients from 6 institutions who underwent mPCNL ( n = 440) and RIRS ( n = 126) procedures were enrolled in our study. The retrospective patient cohort was reviewed and compared. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors predicting success in the RIRS group. Results The stone-free rates were 91.1 and 77% for the mPCNL and RIRS groups, respectively ( p
