Description
Summary:Urolithiasis is one of the commonest urological diseases that can greatly impact the health status of patients with a high socioeconomic burden. Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been considered to be the surgery of choice for small renal stones (Less than 2 cm) due to its feasibility and safety. However, even with potentially low risk, complications can still result with RIRS. In this article we present a unique case of a 12-year-old male who had complete foot drop as a complication following RIRS. No similar case has been reported in the literature.
