Accuracy of Ultrasound for Detecting Residual Fragments During RIRS
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of ultrasound and traditional fluoroscopy to find the residual fragments before retrograde intrarenal surgery is complete. This would ultimately limit the need for radiation exposure and improve the quality of clinical care given to patients and healthcare teams.

Ultrasound
Before completing retrograde intrarenal surgery, a complete endoscopic examination will be performed along with ultrasound instead of fluoroscopy by the same endourologist to determine the size of the largest residual fragment.
