Abstract
Editorial Comment to Trans-tract electrocoagulation can decrease the need for postoperative nephrostomy tube after endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery The article by Takeda I et al i . is a retrospective study from a high-volume center, which assesses the efficacy and safety of trans-tract electrocoagulation (TTEC) at the end of endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS).[1] The authors compared 225 patients with TTEC (from June 2013 to March 2018) and 72 patients without TTEC (from May 2010 to June 2013). In staghorn calculi patients, a retrograde endoscopy can assist in the removal of stones that are difficult to approach by single-tract PCNL, so then a high stone-free rate for a single session procedure and avoiding multiple percutaneous access can be achieved, contributing to shortening hospitalization.
