Can negative ureteroscopy be predicted in ureteral stone treatment?

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the parameters that significantly predicted negative URS were found to be low BMI, no history of stone surgery, distal localization of the stone, small stone area, longer time between the last imaging procedure and URS, and MET applied for the current stone. These parameters should be considered to avoid negative URS and patients should be informed of the possibility of negative URS prior to operation. PMID: 31793863 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
