Article Synopsis
- There has been a rise in kidney stones among elderly patients, prompting a study to assess the effectiveness of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for treating these stones in seniors aged 75 and older.
- The study reviewed data from 366 patients across three age groups: 75-79, 80-84, and 85+, finding no significant differences in stone characteristics or surgical time, but longer hospital stays for the oldest group.
- Factors such as female gender and larger stone size were linked to higher risks of complications and residual stone fragments, indicating that shorter surgical times may help reduce these risks.
