Ultrasonography and fluoroscopy‐guided <scp>PCNL</scp> vs pure ultrasonography‐guided endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery for 4–6‐cm kidney stones
Use of USG-ECIRS showed comparable efficacy to use of CG-PCNL in the management of 4-6-cm renal calculi, while demonstrating superior safety with fewer complications and less blood loss. However, the SFR declined for both approaches when the S.T.O.N.E. score exceeded 10 or when stones involved more than five calyces.
