Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery Versus Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy
The study's aim is to determine which treatment modality, either ESWL or RIRS, is more effective in achieving stone clearance for lower calyceal calculi. Investigators hypothesize that retrograde intrarenal surgery is better as compared to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy. It will target those patients suffering from kidney stones in lower calyces with sizes up to 1.5 cm in an open-label, randomized controlled trial.
