Efficacy and safety of ureteroscopy for stone disease in a solitary kidney: Findings from a systematic review
Efficacy and safety of ureteroscopy for stone disease in a solitary kidney: Findings from a systematic review
Management of stone disease in solitary kidney remains a difficult treatment entity for the urologist. The challenge exists to deliver high clearance while maintaining strong safety profile. Twelve eligible studies were included, comprising a total of 693 patients with a male:female ratio of 2:1. Overall, 114 (16.4%) complications were reported. No fatalities were reported in any of the studies. Clavien III complications were recorded in less than 0.5% of the patients. This review confirms the effectiveness, safety, and reliability of this technique for this unique cohort of patients.

Abstract
Management of stone disease in solitary kidney remains a difficult treatment entity for the urologist. The challenge exists to deliver high clearance while maintaining strong safety profile. Twelve eligible studies were included, comprising a total of 693 patients with a male:female ratio of 2:1. Overall, 114 (16.4%) complications were reported. No fatalities were reported in any of the studies. Clavien III complications were recorded in less than 0.5% of the patients. This review confirms the effectiveness, safety, and reliability of this technique for this unique cohort of patients.
