Basic procedures: A systematic literature search was performed on 4 th January 2023 using Scopus, PubMed, and EMBASE. Only English papers were included; both pediatric and adult studies were accepted. Duplicate studies, case reports, letters to the editor, and meeting abstracts were excluded. Main findings: Twenty-one papers were selected. Several methods have been proposed for suction use in RIRS, such as through the ureteral access sheath or directly to the scope. Artificial intelligence can also regulate this system, monitoring pressure and perfusion flow values. All the proposed techniques showed satisfactory perioperative results for operative time, stone-free rate (SFR), and residual fragments. Moreover, the reduction of intrarenal pressure (induced by aspiration) was also associated with a lower infection rate. Even the studies that considered kidney stones with a diameter of 20 mm or higher reported higher SFR and reduced postoperative complications. However, the lack of well-defined settings for suction pressure and fluid flow prevents the standardization of the procedure. Conclusion: Aspiration device in the surgical treatment of urinary stones favours a higher SFR, reducing infectious complications, as supported by the included studies. RIRS with a suction system provided to be a natural successor to the traditional technique, regulating intrarenal pressure and aspirating fine dust.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessTıpDahili Tıp Bilimleriİç HastalıklarıNefrolojiSağlık BilimleriMedicineInternal Medicine SciencesInternal DiseasesNephrologyHealth SciencesKlinik Tıp (MED)Klinik TıpÜROLOJİ VE NEFROLOJİClinical Medicine (MED)CLINICAL MEDICINEUROLOGY & NEPHROLOGYÜrolojiUrologyInfectious complicationRetrograde intrarenal surgeryStone-free rateSuction devicearticle10.1016/j.acuro.2023.02.008
