According to the European Association of Urology Urolithiasis Guidelines, retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is recommended as first-line treatment for renal stones \\< 2 cm, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is recommended as the gold standard for renal stones ≥ 2 cm in length.\n\nObesity has been identified as an independent risk factor for stone formation in the United States. Obesity (BMI \\>35) also places surgical patients at a greater risk of complications, because of the increased incidence in this group of diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, postoperative deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism, and because of poor radiographic visualization, obscure anatomic landmarks, more difficult renal access, and inferior stone-free rates.\n\nStandard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the recommended treatment by major guidelines. However, multiple tracts or sessions of PCNL were required to obtain a high stone-free rate (SFR) for complex renal calculi, especially staghorn stones, while procedure-related complications increased concomitantly. To acquire a higher SFR, full access to the entire intrarenal collecting system is the final goal of treatment for these patients suffering from multiple calyceal or peripheral satellite calculi, which is technically challenging by means of RIRS or PCNL monotherapy.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '60 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Partial or complete staghorn stones)\n* Guy's Stone Score III or IV)\n* Adult (18-60) years old patients\n* Obese \\& super-obese patients (BMI \\> 30 kg/m 2).\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with congenital renal anomalies"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06085794', 'acronym': 'ECIRS', 'briefTitle': 'Standard PCNL Vs Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery (ECIRS) for Complex Nephrolithiasis in Obese Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Ain Shams University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparative Study Between Standard PCNL and Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery (ECIRS) in the Galdakaomodified Supine Valdivia (GMSV) Position for Complex Nephrolithiasis in Obese Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'ECIRS complex stones in obese'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Percutaneous nephrolithotomy', 'description': 'the standard-PCNL group (will be performed by urologists with more than 2 years of experience of PCNL), Fluoroscopic-guided percutaneous renal access will be done for patients in the prone position.', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery', 'description': 'the ECIRS group (will be performed by urologists with more than 2 years of experience of PCNL and RIRS), patients will be oriented in the GMSV position.flexible ureteroscope will be inserted through the access sheath to observe the stone distributions.
