Abstract The Urological Association of Asia, consisting of 25 member associations and one
affiliated member since its foundation in 1990, has planned to develop Asian guidelines for …

Growing evidence continues to show the term clinically insignificant residual fragments
(CIRF) for residual fragments of 4 mm or less to be a misnomer. In fact, only a third of CIRF is …

Results A total of 17 studies were included. Surgical time and mean postoperative length did
not significantly differ between the groups (MD-8.39 minutes 95% CI-21.30, 4.53, p= 0.20; …

A decision support system (DSS) was developed to predict postoperative outcome of a
kidney stone treatment procedure, particularly percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The …

The aim of this research is to compare the efficiency and safety between endoscopic
combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) in the Galdakao-modified Supine Valdivia (GMSV) …

Objectives To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the prone split‐leg and the Galdakao‐
modified supine Valdivia positions during endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery. Methods …

To establish a safer and more efficient treatment strategy with mini-endoscopic combined
intrarenal surgery (ECIRS), the present study aimed to develop models to predict the …

Objective: To evaluate and compare the outcome of ECIRS in the treatment of partial
staghorn renal calculi in both prone split-leg positions versus GMSV positions with regard to; …

Purpose The effect of combining miniaturization with endoscopic combined intrarenal
surgery (ECIRS) is unclear. Thus, we compared the treatment outcomes between minimally …

Purpose: The management of simultaneous renal and ureteral calculi usually require staged
procedure or change of position from supine lithotomy for ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy to …
