ABSTRACT = {Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the standard 
treatment for patients with large stone burdens, but 
can be associated with significant complications. 
Flexible ureteroscopy is an alternative approach that is 
less invasive, but often requires multiple procedures. 
Typically, many factors play a role in the decision to 
perform PCNL or ureteroscopy. The challenge is that it 
is difficult to predict which stone burdens will be able to 
be cleared ureteroscopically. We describe our approach 
using initial prone ureteroscopy with the transition to 
standard prone PCNL if required.},
