dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The primary aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) among the children and adults with similar stone burdens and locations. Also, the secondary aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting the stone-free rates (SFRs) of RIRS. Methods: We retrospectively compared perioperative results, SFRs, and complication rates (CRs) between pediatric (group 1, n: 55) and adult (group 2, n: 220) age groups diagnosed with kidney stones and treated by flexible ureterorenoscopy using the same instruments. Furthermore, multivariate analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting the SFR. Results: A total of 275 patients (pediatric group: 55; adult group: 220) were included in this study. The mean age of pediatric and adult groups was 7.2 +/- 5.3 and 43.9 +/- 15.1, respectively. The mean stone size was 13.9 +/- 6.6 mm in the pediatric group compared to 14.8 +/- 6.7 mm in the adult group (p = 0.35). Stone localizations and number were similar. JJ stenting for passive dilatation and use of UAS were higher in the pediatric group (p = 0.002; p = 0.017). However, postoperative double pigtail stenting rate was higher in the adult group (p < 0.001). Total CR was 13.8% and mostly Clavien I-II, and no difference was observed between the 2 groups (p = 0.541). The SFRs between the groups were similar (pediatric group: 81.8%; adult group: 78.2%; p = 0.554). On multivariate analysis, stone size (p < 0.001) and lower calyx stone (p < 0.001) were the negative predictive factors for SFR. Conclusion: There are small technical differences between pediatric patients and adult patients in our study, but RIRS in children is as safe and efficient as it is in adults.en_US
