Summary
This study compared two common surgeries for kidney stones 20 mm or smaller: super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) and flexible ureteroscopy (fURS). Researchers in Vietnam randomly assigned 72 adults to one of the two procedures and measured how well the stones were removed, along with costs and safety. The goal is to help doctors and patients choose the best option, especially in hospitals with limited resources.
