Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of flexible ureteroscopy retrograde surgery(fURS) for the treatment of uri-nary calculi over 2 cm in diameter. Methods:The data of 272 patients who underwent fURS by standard techniques for urinary cal-culi over 2 cm was collected retrospectively. Demographic,intraoperative,and postoperative data were reviewed and compared to e-valuate the efficacy and safety and to find statistically significant differences. Results:Totally 272 patients(male 188,female 84) were enrolled including 254 cases of renal stone,18 cases of upper ureteral stone and 6 cases of renal stone combined with ureteral stone,and the median age of all patients was 46.5. The cumulative stone diameter(CSD) was (34.2±9.7) mm. Overall stone free rate within 30 days was 90.5%,and overall stone free rate within 90 days was 93.8%. The incidence of complications was 10.3%,including fever in 12 cases(4.4%),steinstrasse in 2 cases(0.7%),hematuria over 24 hours in 7 cases(2.6%) and backache in 7 cases(2.6%). Logistic regression indicated that hydronephrosis was an independent factor affecting stone clearance(95%CI=5.31 to 7 133.90,P=0.004),and the operation time was the factor affecting the complication rate(95%CI=1.030 to 1.222,P=0.008). Conclusion:Flexible ureteroscopy is an effective and safe management method for over 2 cm urinary stones. Hydronephrosis may affect the stone free rate,and operation time may affect the complication rate.
