The benefits of PCNL combined with ureterorenoscopy compared to isolated PCNL in urolithiasis (PRECISE): a multicentre randomised controlled trial protocol

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue 1, Page 76-86, January 2026.
Background Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) often fails to achieve complete stone clearance with a single procedure. Residual fragments, irrespective of size, are associated with increased stone‐related morbidity and a higher likelihood of re‐intervention.

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)

BJUI Compass, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
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.
