Comparison of the Efficacy of Ureteroscopy through a Flexible Vacuum-Assisted Ureteral Access Sheath with Tubeless-mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for the Treatment of 3-2 cm Renal Calculi.
For treating 2-3 cm renal calculi, both FV-UAS with disposable ureteroscope and 16F tubeless PCNL yield high stone-free rates. FV-UAS-assisted FURS reduces bleeding and hospital stay, whereas 16F tubeless PCNL shortens surgery duration.
