Prognosis of clinically insignificant residual stone fragments following therapy with minimally invasive techniquesMurat Bağcıoğlu1, Serkan Özcan2, Mert Ali Karadağ1, Tolga Karakan3, Hasan Turğut4, Aslan Demir1, Ömer Faruk Yağlı21Department Of Urology, Kafkas University School Of Medicine, Kars, Turkey2Department Of Urology, Artvin State Hospital, Artvin, Turkey 3Department Of Urology, Ankara Training And Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey 4Department Of Urology, Akcaabat Halkalı Baba State Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey Following the treatment with minimally invasive surgical techniques, residual renal stone fragments may make a negative impact on the life quality of patients by causing symptoms. The term of clinically insignifi cant residual stone fragments is used to describe the asymptomatic and non-obstructive posttreatment residual fragments remained in the kidney, which are smaller than 4 mm (or 5 mm), and associated with sterile urine. However, the stone fragments may cause the formation of a new stone acting as a nidus. The accumulated evidence suggests that there is no significant difference between treatment and follow up in short term, however the stone disease recurs in 20% of the cases in long term. Thus, close follow-up of the patients with clinically insignifi cant residual fragments is mandatory. Lifestyle changes and medical therapy may be helpful in the management ano prevention of new stone formation.
