  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

Study Summary: This study looks at two different ways to treat kidney stones that are 2 to 3 centimeters in size. The first way is called RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Stone Surgery), which uses a special tool called a ureteral access sheath (UAS) to help remove stones. The second method is Mini PCNL (Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy), which involves making a small cut to take out the stones. The study aims to find out which method is safer and works better.

  • Study Length: It's an observational study, so it might involve several visits to the doctor.
  • Eligibility: Participants need to be at least 18 years old and have kidney stones of 2-3 cm.
  • Risks: There might be some risks, especially if you have certain health conditions.
