Protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database. Only comparative studies were considered for analysis. Stone free rate, operative time and complications were analyzed. Review manager was used for analysis. RESULTS: A total of 7 studies were included in the analysis and out of them three were randomized clinical trials. A total of 786 patients were analyzed. Mean age ranged from 6.5 to 11.5 years. The ESWL group presented a range of stone free rates between 20 and 90% while the RIRS group presented a range of stone free rates between 37 and 97%. The meta-analysis of the three randomized clinical trials favored the RIRS group over the ESWL group in terms of stone-free rate (RR: 0.84; p<0,05) (Figure). Only four studies included complication rate and rates were comparable between both groups. In terms of operative time only four studies included data and most of them favored ESWL over RIRS (Figure).
