Abstract
Despite the size of the RF, the vast majority of patients required an intervention during long-term follow-up. We identified that RFs of diameter >4âmm associate with the need for a surgical therapy, but the rate of clinical events was not affected by the size or location of the stones. Struvite or apatite composition stones had an increased risk of intervention during follow-up. Spontaneous passage was an uncommon event in this cohort.
