Re: Sener et al.: Asymptomatic Lower Pole Small Renal Stones: Shock Wave Lithotripsy, Flexible Ureteroscopy, or Observation? A Prospective Randomized Trial (Urology 2015;85:33-37)
F-URS should be kept in mind while preferring this modality for lower pole kidney stones sized 90% in both procedures. Koo et al2 compared the cost effectiveness and outcome efficiency of SWL vs F-URS for lower pole renal calculi 20 mm, and they mentioned that SWL was efficacious and cost effective. Sener et al could highlight the preference of SWL for the treatment of
