“…Corresponding values measured in the normal kidney was 119.8° (p = 0.014), although mean values in both kidneys exceeded 90 o . Other investigators have also studied IPA that could potentially affect clearance of lower pole stones treated with the ESWL [5,6] and the RIRS [16]. Ruggera et al [17] evaluated 107 patients treated for solitary lower pole kidney stone with the ESWL.…”

“…When the included angle between the pelvis ureter and funnel of the lower calyx was less than 30°, the lithotripsy success rate was extremely low. [8][9][10] The success rate of flexible ureteroscopy has been reported as 83% to 86.3% for lower calyceal calculi of 1 to 2 cm. 11,12 In our analysis, the success rate was 91.4%.…”

Introduction: We discuss the efficacy and safety of flexible ureteroscopy for renal calculi with a burden of <2 cm, as well as the prevention and treatment of complications. Methods: A total of 108 renal calculi with flexible ureteroscopy and holmium laser treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The stone-free rate was evaluated. The effectiveness, safety, surgical technique, incidence of complications, and relevant treatments were analyzed. Results: All patients underwent only one lithotripsy procedure. The success rate of flexible ureteroscopy was 97.2% (105/108). Among the 105 cases, the total lithotripsy success rate was 97.1% (101/105). The total stone-free rate after 8 weeks post-operation was 94.3% (99/105), the stone-free rate of the lower calyx was 85.7% (30/35); it was 98.6% (69/70) in the middle-upper calyceal and renal pelvis. The incidence of complications was 12.9% (14/108). None of the patients had serious adverse outcomes. Conclusion: Flexible ureteroscopy represents an optimal treatment option for selected renal calculi with burden of <2 cm. The effectiveness and safety of flexible ureteroscopy can be further improved through reasonable preoperative evaluation and advances in surgical techniques, as well as a better understanding of the inducement and treatment of complications.
