To compare the effectiveness and frequency of intra- and postoperative complications in the treatment of coralloid stones using endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (EKIH) and percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNLT). The study included 131 patients with coralloid nephrolithiasis, 61 of them were treated with the EKIH method, 70 with PNLT. Demographic data, surgery parameters, complication rate, and stone clearance for the 3rd month after the intervention were analyzed. The frequency of achieving stone-free status was significantly higher in the group of the same (85.2% vs. 72.9%, p = 0.048). Intra- and postoperative complications occurred less frequently with ECI (8.2% vs. 20.0%, p = 0.048). The operative time in the group was higher, but it was accompanied by less blood loss and shorter hospital stays. EKIH is a more effective and safe method of treating coral stones, which reduces the risk of complications and improves clinical outcomes compared with NLT.
