Risk of bleeding after retrograde intrarenal surgery vs miniaturised percutaneous nephrolithotomy for 10–20 mm renal stones: a not so different safety profile
When managing renal stones between 10 and 20 mm taking into account both size and hardness with the application of the SMASH score, RIRS and mini-PCNL show comparable efficacy. A higher bleeding risk has been expected with percutaneous approaches; however, in our cohort the incidence of clinically significant bleeding was low and comparable between the two groups when adopting mini-PCNL.
