Summary

The objective of this research is to investigate the surgical outcomes of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS)for patients with renal stone larger than 1cm.

Detailed description

It is pointed out that there is the disadvantage of conventional PCNL technique which showed dramatic decrease in Hb and renal damage even though it has some advantages of a short operation time and a high stone-free rate. MPCNL and RIRS has recently been considered as very efficacious methods.

Conditions

• Renal Stone

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	RIRS	* RIRS arm * Use of flexible ureteroscopy to access and remove renal stones without percutaneous nephrostomy tract
DEVICE	MPCNL	* MPCNL arm * A new technique that reduced the size of percutaneous tract to make renal stone into small pieces.
