Article Abstract
PCNL is gold standard treatment of pelvis stone more than 2 cm. Since 1970 that PCNL was introduced, multiple methods including mini PCNL, Lap assisted PCNL etc. were used to increase the efficacy and decrease the complications of PCNL in different patients. We describe a new method of PCNL for the first time for extracting 7 cm renal stone without fragmentation, and we called it EN BLOC PCNL. Our technique had no complication and caused lower operative time.

Does the existing evidence on flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath indicate a potential paradigm shift in the management of kidney and ureteral stones with flexible ureteroscopy? An overview from EAU endourology.
Curr Opin Urol
September 2025
European Association of Urology Section of Endourology (ESEUT), Arnhem, The Netherlands.
Purpose Of Review: This opinion article from the EAU Endourology Section critically summarizes the existing evidence on flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS) to determine if they represent a paradigm shift in managing kidney and ureteral stones with flexible ureteroscopy (FURS). This scoping review aims to synthesize recent findings on FANS efficacy, safety, and potential to overcome limitations of conventional ureteral access sheath (C-UAS) and other modalities.
Recent Findings: Current evidence demonstrates FANS significantly outperforms C-UAS.
Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Five Categories of Intracorporeal Lithotripsy Devices in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomised Control Trials.

Department of Urology and Guangdong Key Laboratory of Urology, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, 510230 Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Objectives: This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of five categories of intracorporeal lithotripsy devices in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Pneumatic lithotripters, ultrasonic lithotripters, double-probe dual-energy lithotripters, single-probe dual-energy (SPDE) lithotripters and lasers.
Methods: A network meta-analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. PubMed, Embase and Cochrane were utilised to search for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) up to 10 August 2024.
The impact of clinically insignificant residual fragments following endourological management of urolithiasis: a systematic review of complications and re-intervention rates.

Introduction: Achieving stone-free status (SFS) is a key goal of endourological treatment, yet definitions of SFS and clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) remain controversial. While CIRF is frequently defined as residual fragments ≤4 mm, there is no consensus on its clinical significance regarding complications and re-intervention needs. We evaluate the risk of complications and the need for re-intervention associated with the presence of CIRF following endourological treatment for urolithiasis.

Next-generation Moses™ technology is a pulse modulation modality of the traditional holmium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser and has been developed for use in both laser lithotripsy and prostate enucleation. In traditional holmium YAG lasers, the energy is delivered in a single continuous pulse, which can be less efficient in terms of stone fragmentation and tissue interaction. Moses technology, on the other hand, uses multiple, shorter pulses within a single laser firing cycle, which makes the energy delivery more controlled and effective.

Management of common bile duct (CBD) stones has evolved substantially with the advent of endoscopic techniques and dedicated high-end devices. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become a widespread essential technique for managing CBD stones, with high success rates in standard cases. However, for patients with large stones, stones in an impacted state, and stones in anatomically challenging regions, advanced strategies using various dedicated devices may be needed.
