Brief Summary: This prospective randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of alfuzosin, mirabegron, and their combination on stent-related symptoms and outcomes in patients undergoing DJ stent placement after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for renal stones. The primary outcomes include stone-free rate and residual fragment status, while secondary outcomes focus on stent-related pain and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Patients will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: alfuzosin only, mirabegron only, combination therapy, or control. Pain and LUTS will be assessed using validated questionnaires such as the Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ) and IPSS.
Detailed Description: Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a commonly used minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of renal stones. Postoperative placement of double-J (DJ) stents is often necessary but can result in significant stent-related discomfort and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), which negatively impact patient quality of life. Alfuzosin, an alpha-blocker, and mirabegron, a beta-3 agonist, are pharmacological agents known to reduce stent-related symptoms. This study aims to compare the individual and combined efficacy of these agents on stent-related pain, LUTS, and postoperative stone outcomes. Patients will be evaluated for stone clearance, residual fragments (by imaging), and symptom scores over a follow-up period of 2 to 4 weeks post-RIRS
