Purpose. - To retrospectively assess the clinical utility in ureteroscopy (URS) planning of radiological parameters as predictor of stone-free status after a single flexible ureteroscopy.Material. - Sixty-seven patients with renal stones treated by flexible URS were retrospectively evaluated. To assess the clinical utility of radiological parameters, relationships between stone-free (SF) status and stone burden (maximal diameter, calculated area, calculated volume, cumulative diameter, and tridimentionnal volume [V3D]) were analyzed using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve and logistic regression.Results. - Maximal diameter (AUC = 0.75), calculated area (AUC 0.79), calculated volume (AUC = 0.79), cumulative diameter (AUC = 0.80) and tridimensional volume (AUC = 0.82) revealed ability to predict SF status after URS.Conclusion. - Stone burden evaluation is critical in predicting SF status after a single URS. Planar and volumetric measurements showed equal ability to predict SF status. V3D is more accurate but diameter measurement remains easier in clinical practice. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS.
