This meta-analysis suggests that pre-stenting results in a higher success for UAS placement, minimising intraoperative ureteric injury, with higher overall SFR for any RF cut-off in PS cohorts. In non-Asian cohort, significant differences occurred at SFR < 4 mm but not for SFR < 1 mm. No difference was seen in our Asian cohort for any SFR cut-off in both PS and NPS patients.
