The PUrE randomised controlled trial 1: Clinical and cost effectiveness of flexible ureterorenoscopy and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for lower pole stones of ≤10 mm
PUrE RCT 1 found that there was no evidence of a difference in health status between FURS and ESWL for LPSs of ≤10 mm, with FURS leading to a higher stone-free rate. ESWL was more cost effective than FURS.
