Compared to the unsuccessful group, stone length and stone density were lower, surgery duration was shorter and there were less lower pole stones in the successful group (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the other parameters. The T.O.HO. score was significantly lower in the successful group compared to the unsuccessful group (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, stone length (OR: 0.905; 95% Cl: 0.866\u20130.946; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), lower pole location (OR: 0.546; 95% Cl: 0.013\u20130.296; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), stone density (OR: 0.999; 95% Cl: 0.998\u20131; p\u2009=\u20090.044) and the T.O.HO. score (OR: 0.684; 95%Cl: 0.554\u20130.844; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) were found as the independent risk factors for RIRS success.
