Although ureteroscopic treatment of renal calculi is safe and effective. it is relatively inefficient compared with ESWL and PCNL. It should be considered primary therapy for patients with lower pole stones who have adverse ESWL characteristics and patients who are not suitable candidates for PCNL. There are also numerous clinical situations, as outlined previously, where the ureteroscopic approach is favored over other treatment modalities.
虽然输尿管镜治疗肾结石是安全有效的。但与体外冲击波碎石术（ESWL）和经皮肾镜取石术（PCNL）相比，其效率相对较低。对于具有不利ESWL特征的下极结石患者以及不适合PCNL的患者，应将其视为主要治疗方法。如前所述，在许多临床情况下，输尿管镜治疗方法比其他治疗方式更受青睐。
