To identify preoperative predictors and to develop a classification system for predicting success rate after endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) in the modified Valdivia position for renal stone treatment.We retrospectively analyzed 329 consecutive, single-session ECIRS procedures undertaken in the modified Valdivia position to treat renal stones. The successful status after surgery was...
To evaluate the effectiveness of cystoscopic lithotripsy, we performed Amplatz sheath technique using Ho: YAG laser. Maheshwari first reported the use of an Amplatz sheath in the female urethra in 1998, and Okeke et al reported the use of an Amplatz sheath for male patients during cystolithotripsy in 2004. The usefulness of the holmium (Ho): yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser lithotripsy is widely...

Although several stone parameters reportedly influence the outcome of treatment for urinary stones, the most reliable indicators of stone burden remain unclear. Patients with renal stones treated by flexible URS with holmium...
