Abstract:Bosio et al. conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the outcomes of flexible ureterorenoscopy (RIRS) versus shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) for kidney stones up to 2 cm. The primary endpoint was stone-free rate (SFR) at 1 month (1). Secondary endpoints were SFR at 6 months and 1 year, complications and secondary treatments. True SFR (zero residual fragments) at 1 month favors RIRS (50.0% vs. 26.5%; p=0.004). In the long run, the authors state that this difference tends to reduce at 6 months 59.4% vs. 4… Show more
