Article Synopsis
- This study compares the safety and effectiveness of flexible ureteroscopy (f-URS) and ambulatory tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) for treating 1-2 cm lower calyceal renal stones in a randomized controlled trial involving 72 patients.
- Results show that mini-PCNL had a longer operative time but significantly higher stone-free rates (SFR) at both postoperative Day 1 and three months later compared to f-URS.
- Both procedures had similar postoperative complications, but two patients in the f-URS group required re-treatment, highlighting the need to assess the best surgical approach for specific cases.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of prospectively collected data from individuals who underwent GreenLight laser prostatectomy at our institution from May 2018 to July 2022. Patient demographics and outcome measures were recorded, including indications for the procedure, median urinary volume drained, or median postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) before catheterization or GreenLight laser prostatectomy.
