Which Patinets Benefit More From Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy? A Location-Based Comparative Analysis of PCNL and RIRS for 1-2 cm Renal Stones

10. mai 2026 oppdatert av: Esra DOĞAN YILMAZ, PhD, Kırıkkale University
This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) for renal stones measuring 10-20 mm. The study specifically investigates whether the anatomical location of the stone (upper, middle, or lower calyx) influences the success rates and stone-free outcomes of these two surgical modalities. A total of 110 patients were randomized into two equal groups to evaluate primary endpoints, including stone-free rates at the 3-month follow-up, and secondary endpoints such as operative time and complication rates

Studieoversikt

Detaljert beskrivelse

n this prospective randomized controlled trial, 110 adult patients diagnosed with a single non-staghorn renal stone measuring 10-20 mm were enrolled. The study was conducted at Kırıkkale High Specialization Hospital between the specified study dates. Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two treatment arms: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS). Randomization was implemented using a computer-generated sequence to ensure unbiased allocation.

The primary objective is to compare the stone-free rates (SFR) between the two surgical techniques at the 3-month postoperative mark, as confirmed by non-contrast computed tomography. A secondary and key focus of the study is the impact of stone localization (upper, middle, and lower calyx) on the success of each procedure. Additional outcomes evaluated include total operative time, hospital stay duration, hemoglobin level changes, and postoperative complication rates according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. The results aim to provide a location-based surgical selection framework for mid-sized renal stones.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: PCNL Group
Patients in this group underwent Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for the treatment of renal stones measuring 10-20 mm. The procedure was performed in the prone or lithotomy position under general anesthesia.
A standard percutaneous approach was used. Under general anesthesia, a nephrostomy tract was established, and the stone was fragmented using a pneumatic or ultrasonic lithotripter.
Aktiv komparator: RIRS Group
Patients in this group underwent Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) using a flexible ureterorenoscope and laser lithotripsy for the treatment of renal stones measuring 10-20 mm.
The procedure was performed using a flexible ureterorenoscope. Stones were fragmented using a Holmium:YAG laser fiber after reaching the renal pelvis and calyces retrogradely.
