“…However, forgotten stents is an important issue, with a report rate of up to 12.5% . Two important ways to reduce the incidence is to increase the patient's awareness about the presence of the stent and have proper documentation . Booking an appointment for removal of the stent immediately after insertion and explaining to the patient that they need to have follow up for stent removal would increase the patient's awareness, as well as sending them text message reminders for the appointment .…”

Urinary stone disease, or urolithiasis, is a very common disease with increasing prevalence and incidence. With the advancement of endoscopic techniques, the treatment outcomes of ureteroscopy (or transureteral lithotripsy) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy are continuously improving. In recent years, there have been many new developments in the field, including new endoscopy design, more effective auxiliary tools, improvement in treatment protocols, introduction of robotic technology, combining both ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery or transureteral lithotripsy‐assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy), improvement in laser technology, and so on. All these new inputs will further improve the treatment efficacy and safety of the procedures, thus benefiting our patients. In the present review, we briefly go through the main steps of ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy, with a concise description and application of these new advances.
