Official Title: Flexible Ureteroscopy With Tip-Bendable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath Versus Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for Treatment of 2-3cm Renal Stones: an International Multicentre, Randomized, Parallel-

Brief Summary: Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the first-line treatment for renal stones larger than 2 cm according to EAU and AUA guidelines.Advances in flexible ureteroscopy, including smaller disposable ureteroscopes and suction techniques, have expanded its indications.The tip-bendable suction ureteral access sheath (S-UAS) offers improved flexibility and stone-free rates (SFR).This study compares clinical outcomes of flexible ureteroscopy (f-URS) with S-UAS and mini-PCNL in treating 2-3 cm renal…
