The role of preoperative ureteral stenting in retrograde intrarenal surgery in renal stone patients: a propensity score-matched study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative ureteral stenting on retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed RIRS cases from October 2014 to June 2017. Patients were divided into two groups according to preoperative ureteral stent insertion. The characteristics of the patients [age, body mass index (BMI), sex, previous disease history, hemoglobin, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)], characters of stone (size, number, density, location), ureteral access sheath (UAS) success rate, perioperative complication, operative time, hospitalization time, period with stent, postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI) rate, stone free rate (SFR), and additional treatment rate were analyzed.
