Abstract

Over the last 7 years, there is a rising prevalence of kidney stone disease with associated increase in the number of interventions related to it. Both elective and emergency URS procedures are increasing, with a rising trend for day-case URS. Similar trends are seen worldwide and future resource planning for urolithiasis is needed to match the increase in demand.
