Abstract
We thank the editor Dr. Bres-Niewada for her comments on our papers [1, 2] on the efficacy and outcomes for ureteroscopy in patients with solitary kidney. URS and RIRS have now been shown to be effective in all types of patient groups including paediatric patients [4]. Our results support successful use of this technique for patients with solitary kidney, as a day case procedure with some improvement in their renal function post-operatively [3].
