Is retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) effective and safe for the treatment of urinary system stone disease?
RIRS is a reliable surgical method for urinary system stone disease, though success depends on stone characteristics and surgical experience, and serious complications can occur.
RIRS success varies by stone factors with mostly mild complications; leaves open need for RCTs to guide selection.
What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a reliable surgical method for the treatment of urinary system stone disease.This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of RIRS considering more than 1000 cases based on multi-center experience.The size of the stone, stone location and surgical experience could affect the success rate.Although most consequences are mild and rare, there could nevertheless be serious, life-threatening complications.
