The indications for retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) have greatly increased, however, there is still no consensus on the use of spinal anesthesia (SA) during this procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the comparability of surgical outcomes of RIRS performed under SA versus general GA for renal stones.
