Flexible ureteroscopy with a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath versus mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for 1-2 cm lower pole renal stones: Protocol for an international, multicentre, randomized non-inferiority trial (FLAME trial). [PDF]
Abstract Background Lower pole renal stones measuring 1–2 cm remain challenging to treat. While mini‐percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini‐PCNL) provides high stone‐free rates (SFRs), it carries tract‐related morbidity. Flexible ureteroscopy (f‐URS) is less invasive but limited in SFR.
