Luncheon Symposium 1【Potent】

Managing complicated renal stones demands not only surgical precision but also the smart integration of evolving technologies. In this session, titled “Solution for complicated renal stone: from RIRS to ultramini ECIRS,” Dr. Po-Fan Hsieh explores how modern endourology is reshaping treatment strategies for large, dense, or anatomically challenging stones.

From flexible retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) to the latest ultramini ECIRS approach, the session highlights how the combination of high-power laser systems, refined access techniques, and minimally invasive philosophies can expand the boundaries of stone management. Dr. Hsieh will walk the audience through decision-making frameworks based on stone size, location, patient anatomy, and surgical risk, showing when and how to escalate from RIRS to ECIRS for optimal results.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into how smaller tracts, enhanced energy delivery, and improved visualization lead to better stone-free rates with fewer complications. Whether you're a seasoned endourologist or exploring new methods to tackle difficult cases, this session will offer practical pearls and forward-looking strategies that align with the future of stone surgery.
