We investigated a modified patient position to increase stone-free rate by analysing presence of residual fragments. We randomized patients into standard position and the T-Tilt position (15° Trendelenburg and 15° airplane away from the surgical side kidney) METHODS: In this prospective, randomized study, patients were randomized into the standard or T-Tilt position. Demographics, comorbidities, and operative parameters were collected. Stone free rate was determined with CT KUB at 1-month follow-up and the data analysed applying the relevant statistical tests. RESULTS: A total of 100 patients were analysed: 50 standard patients and 50 T-Tilt patients. The groups had similar patient and stone factors. Stone-free rates for isolated lower pole stones were significantly different: standard position was 66 % vs. T-Tilt position was 86 % (p<0.001). Clavien-Dindo scores did not differ significantly (p=0.3). CONCLUSIONS: The T-Tilt patient position was associated with higher stone-free rates. It is an atraumatic, cost-effective technique. These results suggest that modifying patient positioning during retrograde intrarenal surgery improves stone-free rates.
