First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compared two surgeries—PCNL and RIRS—for removing kidney stones that are 1-2 cm in size. Researchers wanted to see if the stone's location in the kidney affects which surgery works best. 110 adults took part, and the main goal was to see how many people were stone-free after 3 months.
