Résumé

There is a lack of consensus on definitions for the success of endourological stone treatments. The zero-fragment rate (residual fragments [RFs] <1 mm) is now considered more accurate than the stone-free rate (RFs ≤4 mm). As stone volume may be adopted as the recommended method for preoperative estimation of the stone burden, the volumetric stone-free rate may be superior to standard linear RF measurements in defining success.
