Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual Analog Score (VAS)

Time Frame: 1 week

Visual Analog Score (VAS) for flank pain and dysuria score, urgency, frequency, suprapubic pain, hematuria, analgesia requirement, operative time, re-hospitalization, and return to normal physical activity. This is a widely-used scale. It a unidimensional measure of pain intensity. It is administered as a straight horizontal line orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best) , where the patient indicates their situation.
