Core Tip
Core Tip: This systematic review evaluates the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of surgical interventions for urolithiasis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Key findings highlight that while techniques such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy, ureteroscopy, and shock wave lithotripsy achieve technical success rates, they are associated with significant risks, including bleeding, infection, and acute kidney injury, especially in advanced CKD. Modifications to standard surgical methods are often required to address patient-specific factors. Stone-free rates vary across interventions, and long-term renal outcomes remain inconsistent, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans and further high-quality research to guide optimal management of patients with CKD.
