Table 5. Recurrent gross hematuria and adverse events.

One required second ureteroscopy. Other 3 underwent successful percutaneous nephroscopic electrocautery.
Recurrent gross hematuria occurred at 1 month, 1, 2 and 2 year post-surgery, respectively. All resolved spontaneously.
One had a bleeding from a different site at 2 years post-surgery. Therefore this does not seem to be a treatment failure.
Recurrent gross hematuria occurred in 8 and 10 year post-surgery, respectively. Both resolved spontaneously.
