ABSTRACT
Treatment of urolithiasis has evolved greatly as retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has gained popularity nowadays being a gold standard therapy for renal stones up to 2 cm. Endourological procedures are traditionally fluoroscopic guided; thus, an increasing concern is the harm of radiation exposure, especially in the pediatric population. Therefore, performing fluoroless RIRS should be a feasible option for pediatric urologists. Herein, we describe the technique of totally fluoroless RIRS in presented patients and the tips to avoid radiation use at most.
