Abstract

Residual fragments after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: cost comparison of immediate second look flexible nephroscopy versus expectant management

Highlights

We performed a cost comparison of immediate second look flexible nephroscopy vs expectant management for post-percutaneous nephrostolithotomy residual fragments
Materials and Methods: We used a decision analysis model to compare the cost of managing residual fragments by second look flexible nephroscopy vs observation
