Brief Summary

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of \<20mm kidney stones. Insertion of a ureteral access sheath (UAS) before RIRS surgery is currently accepted as an effective method to improve the effectiveness of surgery, but can be accompanied by serious complications. In long-term clinical practice, the investigators has found that many ureteral injuries occur during UAS insertion of the ureter from ureteral orifice. And if we use rigid ureteroscopy to insert the UAS under direct vision, we can provide the placement success rate and reduce the incidence of complications. The investigator aims to perform a prospective and randomized controlled trial comparing the safety and efficacy of under direct vision and under non direct vision during the insertion of UAS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • UAS insertion success rate

    Primary insertion of a UAS is not always possible. The ideal position of the UAS is with its distal extremity just below the ureteric-pelvic junction (UPJ). Insertion failure is defined as UAS cross the upj or do not reach the proximal ureter or the surgeon's decision to resign UAS insertion due to high resistance to the retrograde progression of the UAS along the urinary tract.

    intraoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Complication rate

    1 month after removing the pigtail stent

  • Ureteral lesion grade

    intraoperatively

Study Arms (2)

Group 1:Under direct vision

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in Group 1 insert the UAS under direct vision.In this procedure,the investigators will insert the ureteroscope into urinary bladder beside the guidewire to observe the process of uas insertion into the ureter.

Procedure: Insert the UAS under direct vision

Group 2:Under non direct vision

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in Group 2 insert the UAS under non direct vision.In this procedure,the investigators will insert the UAS under fluoroscopy control.

Procedure: Insert the UAS under non direct vision

Interventions

Patients in this group,we use rigid ureteroscopy to insert the UAS under direct vision.

Group 1:Under direct vision

Patients in this group,we insert the UAS by the experience of the surgeon and under non direct vision .

Group 2:Under non direct vision
