The QoL was evaluated by using Short From-36 pre- and post-operatively. Also, the surgical data of all patients during and after the operations were compared between the 2 groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean age, body mass index, stone size and density of the patients in the 2 groups were statistically similar (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). The SFR of PNL and RIRS were found 94% (47\/50) and 73% (38\/52), respectively (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01). There were no statistically differences between operation times, minor complication rates and Short From-36 scores of the 2 groups. Hospitalization times were 1.13 \u00b1 0.34days for RIRS and 2.9 \u00b1 5.7days for PNL (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). While the blood transfusion rate of PNL group was 8% (4\/50), none patient was made blood transfusion in RIRS.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The results of our study show that the blood transfusion rates and hospitalization times of RIRS group are significantly lower than PNL for management of renal pelvis stone 2-4cm. Despite these advantages of RIRS, the SFR is significantly lower than PNL for these stones. The effects on QoL of the both interventions before and after surgery were similar.<\/jats:p>\n
