    Objectives: We aim to assess whether severely frail patients have an increased risk of complications and worse surgical outcomes after retrograde intrarenal surgery. Methods: The data of 340 consecutive patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery to treat upper tract urinary stones were analyzed retrospectively. The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) was used to assess the frailty status. Using a cutoff value of score 2 in the mFI-5 score, patients were divided into two groups: patients with an mFI-5 score <2 were assigned to a non-frail (Group 1) group, and patients with an mFI-5 score >= 2 were assigned to a frail (Group 2) group. The patients' demographics, stone characteristics, operative outcomes, and complication rates were compared between the groups. The primary objective was to examine whether the surgical outcomes were much better in non-frail patients. Results: After matching confounding factors, Group 1 comprised 255 patients, and Group 2 comprised 85 patients. The baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of the median operation time and length of hospital stay among groups. There were no significant differences between groups for intraoperative complication rates (7.6% and 9.4%, respectively; P = .47) and postoperative complication rates (13.8% and 11.8%, respectively; P = .71), and stone-free rates (70.9% versus 72.9%, respectively; P = .73). Conclusions: Retrograde intrarenal surgery is an efficient and feasible treatment option for upper urinary tract stones in severely frail patients.

    Lower Pole Stones Are Associated with Low Stone-Free Rates in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: A Myth or Fact? - A Matched Case-Control Study from the RIRSearch Group

    Introduction: There are conflicting results in the literature regarding the efficacy of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in lower pole stones. This study aimed to evaluate RIRS outcomes in lower pole stones by forming matched case-control groups. Methods: The data of 491 patients who were diagnosed with kidney stones and underwent RIRS were retrospectively included in the study. A total of 209 patients with lower pole stones (Group 1) and 282 patients with pelvic stones (Group 2) were matched at a 1:1 ratio in terms of stone burden, stone density, preoperative double-J stenting status, and a previous history of shock wave lithotripsy, yielding 159 patients in each group. A computed tomography scan was performed to evaluate the stone-free status. The primary outcome was stone-free status 1 month after RIRS. Results: After case-control matching, the median age was 49 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 40-58) in Group 1 and 50 years (IQR: 35-60) in Group 2 (p = 0.388). The median stone burden values of Group 1 and Group 2 were 415.3 mm3 (IQR: 176.1-858.2) and 503.3 mm3 (IQR: 282.5-864), respectively (p = 0.100). After RIRS, stone-free status was achieved by 126 of the 159 (79.2%) in Group 1 and 133 of the 159 (83.6%) patients in Group 2 (p = 0.387). The groups were similar in terms of perioperative complications (4.4% in Group 1 and 3.8% in Group 2, p = 0.777), postoperative complications (13.8% in Group 1 and 10.3% in Group 2, p = 0.393), and median operation time (60 min in both, p = 0.230). A longer median fluoroscopy time was noted in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (26 s and 3 s, respectively, p = 0.013). Conclusions: Stone-free rates and complications were comparable between the patients with lower pole and pelvic stones after RIRS. However, lower pole stones are associated with longer fluoroscopy time. RIRS can be performed effectively for the treatment of lower pole stones.
