Flexible mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus retrograde intra-renal surgery in the management of renal stones: a randomized controlled trial
F-mPCNL showed a superior SFR in treating renal stones compared to RIRS in a single session, with less need for auxiliary procedures, shorter operative time, less radiational exposure, and better quality of life. However, it was associated with slightly more hospital stay and postoperative pain compared to RIRS.
