Comparison of Outcomes between Two Methods to Extract Stone Fragments during Flexible Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy

摘要

Objectives To retrospectively compare the operative and clinical outcomes of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (fURSL) with stone extraction performed either by a surgeon (SE) who manipulates the retrieval basket or by having the surgical assistant (AE) manipulate the retrieval basket with the aim of clarifying which method provides a greater stone-free postoperative status.
