About

Guidelines for endourological procedures during COVID-19 have suggested deferring all elective procedures, while obstructed/ infected stones should undergo urgent decompression.

At our centre, screening protocols were implemented with prioritization strategies so that elective care could safely continue at deescalated rates. COVID or septic patients underwent emergency decompression, while non-COVID and non-septic patients underwent primary ureteroscopy (URS) or retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

We aim to report our experience with endourological surgery for stone disease during COVID-19.
