The prevalence of urolithiasis is around 10 % in the French population. It is thus a major public health issue. When the stone is not spontaneously removed, interventions such as extracorporeal lithotripsy or flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) are performed. F-URS is usually preferred in inferior calyx stones > 7 mm in comparison with lithotripsy, with better results. Efficacy of ureteroscopy is based on the "stone-free rate" (SFR) at 3 months. A SFR index is assessed according to the existence of residual fragments and their size. SFR score 1 (fragment ≤ 1mm) has been poorly studied, and is supposed to occur in 60% of cases. These residual fragments account for the high frequency of recurrence, probably favored by crystals aggregation and growth of these fragments under supersaturated urines.
Indeed, calcium stones risk factors are urine supersaturation and crystal growth inhibitors deficiency. Citrate is the major crystal growth inhibitor in human urine. A hypocitraturia is reported in half of the lithiasic population.
Consequently, citrate salts appear as an interesting therapeutic option, in order to slow crystal growth but also to chelate calcium, and consequently to solubilize stones in situ. However, to date, there is no available controlled study after surgical intervention such as flexible ureteroscopy.
The aim of the investigator's study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 3-month potassium and magnesium citrate treatment following ureteroscopy on the elimination of residual fragments (SFR score 1).

Urolithiasis Calyx; Calculus | Dietary Supplement: Potassium and magnesium citrate Dietary Supplement: Placebo | Phase 3 |
The screening visit takes place 3 months to 3 days before the baseline visit. Patient will be informed of the study protocol by the surgeon who will perform the flexible ureteroscopy. As usual in clinical practice, a CT scan will be routinely performed. CT-scan interpretation will be centralized and performed blindly.
At the ureteroscopy day (baseline visit), inclusion and exclusion criteria will be checked by the surgeon. A second information on the study protocol will be given and the protocol consent will be signed.
The day of hospital admission, blood and urine will be collected by a nurse in order to define stone risk factors and other comorbidities after informed consent of the patients. Then patients will undergo ureteroscopy.
Stone fragments will be sent for analysis to the stone centre Laboratory (Tenon Hospital, Paris) with images of the stones during surgery (morphoconstitutional analysis).
Patients will be randomized for treatment after F-URS when they leave recovery room before discharge, after verification of randomization criteria. If the randomisation criteria are not completed, the patient will end its participation to the study.
Else, the patient is randomized and treatment for 3 months (placebo or citrate salts, blinded) will be delivered by the investigational site and administration will begin the day following surgery, thus discharge. A 33 cl glass will be provided for the administration of the treatment. Furthermore 24-hour urine collection will be explained and patients will be given the vessel in order to collect urine at M3 visit.
The end of study visit will take place at 3 months +/- 10 days after ureteroscopy visit.
Medical check-up by the urologist in charge, including a CT-scan and blood and urine biological tests under randomized treatment.
Randomized treatment will be stopped the day of this M3 visit. Adverse events (including drug tolerance, urinary symptoms) and date of stent removal if any will be collected. Compliance will be assessed, using a log book.
