Should we treat asymptomatic concurrent contralateral renal stones? A longitudinal analysis

Shuang Li et al.

Summary: This study included 1666 stone patients and the results showed that treating asymptomatic concurrent contralateral stones does not lower the need for future surgical interventions, while asymptomatic contralateral stones larger than 6 mm may lead to earlier treatment requirements.

Informing the Management of Asymptomatic Nephrolithiasis: Markov Decision Analysis for the 1 cm Renal Stone

Decreased Recurrence of Urolithiasis After Simultaneous Ureteroscopic Surgery for Ureter and Ipsilateral Renal Calculi: Comparison to Shockwave Lithotripsy for Ureter Calculi Alone

Katsuhiro Ito et al.

Summary: For patients with symptomatic ureter calculi and asymptomatic renal calculi <15 mm, simultaneous treatment of renal calculi during ureteroscopy reduces the risk of future ipsilateral surgical interventions and stone-related events compared to shockwave lithotripsy for ureter calculi.
