Abstract

Introduction & Objective: Incidence of urolithiasis is high in our country. Treatment modalities vary depending to the size and location of stone and patient's fitness for invasive treatment. Identifying the most suitable treatment modalities according to patient's clinical characteristic is important to get optimum stone clearance with least complication and better cost-benefit. General Objectives 1. To prove that primary RIRS is more effective than ESWL in treatment of renal stone with suspected failure of ESWL Specific objectives 1. To show that RIRS has better stone clearance in treatment of renal stone with suspected failure of ESWL 2. To show that RIRS is more cost effective in treatment of renal stone with suspected failure of ESWL 3. To identify factors that favors RIRS than ESWL in treatment of renal stone with suspected failure of ESWL Materials and Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial done for a period of two years from from August 2014 to July 2016 in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan Kuantan, Pahang, MalaysIa.
