Objective The objective of this narrative review was to search the existing literature for studies reporting measures to minimize radiation use during endoscopic management of stone disease and present ways of reducing the exposure of both patients and operating room staff.Methods A literature review in PubMed was performed to identify studies describing protocols or measures to reduce radiation received during endourological procedures from January 1970 to August 2022.Eligible studies were those that reported outcomes for ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy regarding measures to minimize radiation doses used intraoperatively,performed either in real-life theatres or using phantoms.Both comparative and non-comparative studies were deemed eligible.Results Protection can be achieved initially at the level of diagnosis and follow-up of patients,which should be done following an algorithm and choice of more conservative imaging methods.Certain protocols,which follow principles for minimized fluoroscopy use should be implemented and urologists as well as operating room staff should be continuously trained regarding radiation damage and protection measures.Wearing protective lead equipment remains a cornerstone for personnel protection,while configuration of the operating room and adjusting X-ray machine settings can also significantly reduce radiation energy.Conclusion There are specific measures,which can be implemented to reduce radiation exposure.These include avoiding excessive use of computed tomography scans and X-rays during diagnosis and follow-up of urolithiasis patients.Intraoperative protocols with minimal fluoroscopy use can be employed.Staff training regarding dangers of radiation plays also a major role.Use and maintenance of protective equipment and setting up the operating room properly also serve towards this goal.Machine settings can be customized appropriately and finally continuously monitoring of exposure with dosimeters can be adopted. 展开更多
