Primary study objective:
To assess the current indications for URS and the treatment outcomes in terms of the stone free rate.
Secondary study objectives:
To assess the peri-operative morbidity (30 days), including SAE, and translate them in the Clavien score.
To define risk factors for the development of peri-operative morbidity after URS.
The following variables will be included to correlate in a logistic regression and uni/multivariate analysis:
The use of antibiotics and incidence of infections
The type of ureteral access used (balloon dilatation, access sheet) and the possible differences in morbidity.
Specific medical conditions (age, BMI, DM, anticoagulants, CVD) versus outcome and morbidity.
The success of URS treatment following prior failed SWL.
Outcomes in complicated cases (mono-kidney, renal congenital anomalies, neurogenic problems).
To study preferences in intra-operative technique (device for fragmentation, use of ureteral stents, device to avoid intra-operative stone migration).
To study differences between lower and higher volume sites.
