Single-Institutional Study on Role of Ureteroscopy and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery in Treatment of Pediatric Renal Calculi
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Ureteroscopy (URS) is accepted as a primary modality to treat ureteral calculi in children and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy continue to be the primary option for renal stones. We report our experience with the use of URS in managing pediatric upper tract calculi and evaluate the results in relation to stone location, size, and the use of URS as a primary or secondary treatment modality.
