Learning Objectives:

Manage complex, non-typical stone cases surgically.
Identify the latest techniques and options for surgical management of stones.
Manage more complex stone cases more efficiently, and give more relevant and precise preoperative counseling.

This course tackles key controversies in surgical stone disease and elucidates the most current rationale for varying treatments using case-based scenarios. Two well-known senior experts give honest and clear assessments of the field in these controversial areas. Active discussion is encouraged, and the discussion favors more experienced endourologists.

Controversies include dusting vs basketing, mini PCNL vs. standard PCNL, supine vs prone PCNL, micro PCNL vs ureteroscopy, wireless vs safety wire ureteroscopy, stents vs no stents, SWL vs URS, and retrograde vs. antegrade caliceal diverticular stone treatments.
