Summary
This study compared three common procedures for removing hard kidney stones (not in the lower part of the kidney) in 300 adults. The procedures were flexible ureteroscopy (FURS), shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (Mini-PCNL). The main goal was to see which method completely clears the stones with the fewest complications. Results help doctors choose the best treatment for medium-sized, hard stones.
