PCNL :<br />
Longer operating time and higher morbidity<br />
Higher stone clearance<br />
Lower cost<br />
URS with Laser:<br />
Lower morbidity and shorter hospital stay<br />
Lower stone clearance with higher retreatment rate<br />
Higher cost including disposable equipment<br />
At this point <strong>of</strong> time, PCNL seems more effective in terms <strong>of</strong><br />
stone clearance and cost.<br />
These findings will assist to setup a stone center and to<br />
implement effective management and policy for endo-<br />

surgical outcome� .<br />
