There no significant difference terms dislocation (p = 0.239). fifty-one (87 %) 564 stone-free first procedure (p = 0.917). Intraoperative observed 14 (4.8 %) 37 (5.9 %) (p = 0.313). Severe UTI presenting fever (>38 °C) requiring prolonged hospitalization parenteral 11 (3 %) 8 (1 %) postoperatively. This statistically (p = 0.025). No between female male harboring respect detected. Although characteristics comparable groups, a small number had significantly more severe UTI’s Our current therapy regimen for seems be efficient safe both females males.
