*Dr. Muthanna S. Aljawadi
ABSTRACT
This is a cross sectional analytic study based on retrospective data collection concerning flexible ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy (FURSL). This study was conducted on 83 adult patients with renal stones. The study was performed by a single researcher in the department of urology at Medicano hospital in Erbil taking in consideration the preoperative, peroperative and postoperative data analysis. Cases with single and multiple renal stones of diameters 7 to 13.6 mm scattered within the renal calyces were managed by FURSL. Access sheath insertion had no influencing affect in decreasing the operative time.43.9% of stones was fragmented successfully and 45.1% were extracted by dormia. Complications were insignificant in general apart from fever. Only 9.8% of cases had trivial intracalyceal bleeding. No case was converted to open exploration. Technical complication was noted in two cases namely one incident with fiberoptic damage and one failed deflection.
