International Braz J Urol, 11/03/09
Korkes F et al. – Most factors associated with operative outcomes during URS are inherent to patient’s condition or devices available at each center, and therefore cannot be changed. However, leg position is a simple factor that can easily be changed, and directly affects operative time during URS. Even though success and complication rates are not related to position, placing the patient in dorsal lithotomy position with an extended leg seems to make the surgery easier and faster.
