Active Control
Group I: UltrasoundExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Before completing retrograde intrarenal surgery, a complete endoscopic examination will be performed along with ultrasound by the same endourologist to determine the size of the largest residual fragment.
Group II: FluoroscopyActive Control1 Intervention
Standard of care, control Before completing retrograde intrarenal surgery, a complete endoscopic examination will be performed along with fluoroscopy by the same endourologist to determine the size of the largest residual fragment.
