ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the outcomes of the ureteral access sheath (UAS) placement techniques in patients undergoing to retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). Material and Methods: The patients were divided into two groups with respect to placement method of UAS. UAS was placed with the classical method, through the guidewire, in the first group of the patients (group I). The outer sheath of UAS was worn on the semirigid endoscope and placed into the ureter under direct vision in the second group (group II). The number of patients was equal in two groups (n=42). Results: Overall, 70 of 84 (83.3%) patients were stone- free after the initial treatment. The success rates were comparable between two groups (80.9% vs 85.7%, p=0.859) one month after surgery. Fluoroscopy screening time (11.7±5.7 vs 0 sec), UAS placement time (245±138.4 vs 40±17.9 sec; p
