Preoperative CT-Derived Stone Burden Metrics for Predicting Stone-Free Status and Operative Time After Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
Objectives: Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is used before retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) to describe stone size, location, and complexity, but the best way to summarize stone burden remains unsettled. Therefore, we compared multidimensional NCCT-derived burden metrics with cumulative stone diameter (CSD)...
