We systematically used, as antibiotic prophylaxis, 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>g iv amoxicillin-clavulanic. In case of allergy to beta-lactams, we switched to 400<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg iv ciprofloxacin. We started the process with rigid ureteroscopy to place a guide wire to the renal cavities and perform ureteroscopy of the distal section of the ureter, making dilation under the view of this segment. Then, we collected urine from the renal cavities that we sent for bacteriological study, very useful in postsurgical infections and vital in cases of sepsis. The next step is the placement under radiological control of the ureteral access sheath. We used a 11–13<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span> (Navigator-Boston Scientific<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>) or 12–14 (Flexor-Cook<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>) Fr sheath. It is important to leave the sheath placed in the proximal ureter at a point that allows for the deflection of the endoscope, and that at the same time makes a good washing of cavities, that is, we should not leave it in the renal pelvis or far from the ureteropelvic junction. Later, we placed a 10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Fr urinary catheter to have the bladder drained during the procedure.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">After placing the sheath, we introduced the flexible ureteroscope and explored the renal cavities until locating the lithiasis. In approximately 95% of the procedures we used a 7.5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Fr flexible fiber-optic ureteroscope (Flex X2, Storz<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>). In the rest of the procedures we used a 9.9<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Fr digital ureteroscope (URF-V, Olympus<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>). As irrigation system, we used a pressure pump (Olympus<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>) that allows us to have an adequate view at all times, by maintaining a constant flow. Working with ureteral access sheath decreases the pressure in the cavities and allows for a high flow, without increasing the pressure in excess. We tried to fragment the lithiasis without working in deflection, in order to extend the life of the endoscope, so if this is located in an unfavorable location, we mobilize it with a small basket into the pelvis or upper calyx. Lithotripsy was performed with 12<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>W holmium laser (Calculase, Storz<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>) and 365 and 200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>μ fibers. We use the lowest caliber fiber when we are forced to work in deflection because the lithiasis cannot be moved due to its excessive size or because we are in a narrow infundibulum. In these cases, we perform <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">in situ</span> lithotripsy, until we achieve mobilizable fragments. To mobilize or extract fragments we used a small nitinol 1.7<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Fr basket. (N-Gage, Cook<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>); this little basket, given its small size, barely diminishes deflection to the ureteroscope and it does not decrease the irrigation during its use, so it allows us to access complex chalices with proper vision for lithiasic manipulation. We performed lithotripsy until we achieved insignificant or removable remains through the ureteral access sheath; for this, we used the tip of the laser fiber as a benchmark. Once the lithotripsy was completed, we extracted the significant remains. To finish the procedure, we placed a double J stent that we will keep for about a week. In cases of rapid procedures, with no remains and with easy sheath passage, we left a ureteral catheter for 24<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>h.</p></span></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0085">Results</span><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The average patient follow-up was 15 months (r: 4–20).

Although European guidelines on lithiasis establish PNL as a first-line treatment for stones over 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm, more and more groups deal with stones over 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm with RIRS, obtaining good results in a single time.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7–9</span></a> This barrier, which seemed insurmountable years ago, today is a reality. Several factors influence the increased rate of success. The improvement in vision of digital ureteroscopes makes the process easier and faster, which clearly influences the rate of success. A digital vision, combined with the systematic use of ureteral access sheath and adequate irrigation, enables us to perform lithotripsy virtually without stopping fragmentation due to vision deficit. Another important factor is the emergence of more powerful holmium lasers that make it possible to modify the parameters of frequency and energy. This allows us to adapt the lithotripsy to the lithiasic composition. Thus, we can treat sizable stones completely vaporizing them, without the need to remove fragments, reducing the surgical time. The success rate at 3 months in our series is 91.6%, slightly lower than the 93.1% reported initially,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> but objectively better if we compare the average size of the lithiases treated at the start of the series with the current cases. Furthermore, if we compare our results with those published by other authors that have expanded the indications for RIRS to lithiases over 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm, we can conclude that we have achieved similar success rates with lower rates of retreatment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11,12</span></a> We performed a second procedure in those patients with significant or clinically relevant remains, and in 90% of the cases they corresponded to lithiases over 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm. To explain our results, the success rate and low morbidity, we must consider some technical aspects. All cases were performed by 2 surgeons that, working together, have jointly overcome the learning curve, which accelerates the operative time. The systematic use of the ureteral access sheath, which although in the beginning had some detractors for fear of ureteral stenosis due to ischemic damage, is currently considered essential to perform the surgery.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13–16</span></a> In our series, in 21 patients (14%), we did not manage to uptake the sheath in a first attempt. In these cases, a double J catheter was placed and surgery was postponed a week.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The choice of the sheath depends primarily on the flexible ureteroscope that we use, since we need to adapt it to the size of the endoscope. The sheath must have sufficient internal caliber for the endoscope to slide freely since the friction not only hinders the process but it also reduces the life of the ureteroscope. In turn, the external size greatly influences the success of the placement of the sheath. In general, the greater the sheath, the better drainage of cavities we will get and the larger lithiasic remains, but we also found more difficulty passing through the ureter. Therefore, we used an intermediate size, around 11–13 and 12–14<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>Fr, which we consider sufficient to obtain good mobility and adequate drainage, minimizing as much as possible the ureteral invasion and the possibility of failure in the placement of the sheath.
