Which is better RIRS or PCNL?
RIRS is a reasonable alternative to PCNL and ESWL in low-volume lower calyx stones, because it has a lower complication rate compared with PCNL and a stone-free rate similar to that of ESWL. Bozkurt et al. compared the results of 42 PCNL and 37 RIRS patients treated for clearance of renal stones with sizes of 1.5–2 cm.
