Brief summary
The study has been conducted in Urology department at Kafrelsheikh University Hospital between March 2022 to March 2023. informed consent was taken from eligible patients and were randomized into three groups, Group A :Flexible ureteroscope (F-URS) group underwent holmium laser lithotripsy using flexible ureteroscopy (Boston® scientific (lithovue) while, Group B : extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) group underwent electromagnetic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (STORZ® MEDICAL Modulith SLX-F2 FD21, Germany) .Group C : Mini perc group underwent holmium laser lithotripsy using Karl® Storz MIP set.
Interventions
using Flexible ureteroscope and holmium laser lithotripsy to get high stone clearance rate
using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to get high stone clearance rate
using holmium laser lithotripsy using Karl® Storz MIP set to get high stone clearance rate

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| stone free rate | after two weeks from primary procedure | no stone residual fragments or asymptomatic insignificant residual fragments less than or equal to 4 mm during patients follow up two weeks. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| assess operative time. | during the procedure | assess operative time.in minutes |
| visual analog scale | immediately after the surgery | Patient self dependent to assess degree of own pain, consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 minimum score('no pain') and 10 maximum score('pain as bad as it could possibly be').higher scores mean a worse outcome. |
| Radiation time | during the procedure | Time of patient exposure for radiation in minutes |
| Post operative complication | Up to 48 hours | Complication may occur post operative complication like fever, sever pain |
