The stone size ranged from 1cm to 3cm in both groups, the procedure was performed under anesthesia with intubation. Dilation of the tract was made with help of alken metallic dilators. We use the adult nephroscope with 24Fr sheath, the same which used for PCNL. Pneumatic fragmentation was required for stones larger than 1.5 cm. Results: Procedures completed with complete stone clearance. The average hospital stay was 2.1 days in group I and 1.0 in group II. Analgesia requirement were 29.3 vs 12.3mg. in group I, six patients (40%) had fever while in group II only one patient(6.7%) has fever. 5 patients observed with hematuria in group I while In group II it was observed in 2 patients.
