Abstract

The authors present their experience with URS stone removal. They retrospectively compared the outcomes of MO and NW patients and concluded that obese patients are acceptable candidates without increased risk of perioperative complications or poor outcomes. Clinically, this is relevant, because URS provides a less-invasive alternative to percutaneous and open stone removal for obese patients. Additionally, no special URS skills are required compared with the nonobese population. Often, the most difficult portion of the case is positioning and locating the urethra deep in the vagina or within a buried penis.
