OBJECTIVE
To stratify outcome and morbidity of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) with regard to body mass index (BMI) and kidney stone burden.
METHODS
The charts of 148 patients who underwent PCNL procedures were reviewed retrospectively. Hospital stay, blood loss, maximal temperature during
The aim of this work is to validate the clinical efficacy of the high-power holmium:YAG laser with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) in combination with ultrasound lithotripsy for complicated renal calculi. From November 2006 to December 2007, 60 patients with complicated renal calculi were
With extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy firmly established as the treatment of choice for the majority of kidney stones, the management of large stone burdens and staghorn stones remains a point of discussion(1,2,3,4). Although with increasing experience the original limitations(5,6) posed by the
Ureteroscopy is an endoscopic kidney stone removal procedure which increases the internal pressure in the renal pelvis, the kidney's urinary collecting system. Elevated renal pelvic pressure may result in systemic absorption of irrigation fluid and urine, which can increase the risk of postoperative
OBJECTIVE
The development of 1.9F or smaller electrohydraulic lithotripsy probes has facilitated the use of this form of lithotripsy via miniature rigid and flexible ureteroscopes. We report our experience with ureteroscopic intracorporeal lithotripsy using 1.9F electrohydraulic lithotripsy
OBJECTIVE
To find the causes of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) failure in renal calculi treatment and evaluate the efficacy and morbidity of remedial measures.
METHODS
All the patients with renal stone who had undergone RIRS in the last two years were reviewed and the failure cases screened
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy and safety of the high-power holmium laser with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy for kidney calculi.
METHODS
The high-power (60 W: 3.0 J x 20 Hz) holmium laser with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy was performed on 52 patients with single kidney pelvic or calyceal stones
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to present the technique of combination of standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) with microperc for achieving higher success rates without increasing complication rates in the management of complex renal calculi.
METHODS
The patients who underwent microperc procedure as a
Splenic lymphoma, or primary malignant lymphoma of the spleen (PMLS), is an uncommon condition whose true nature is difficult to define due to the variable ways it has been classified. Out of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas it comprises less than 2% of cases. Some experts suggest that PMLS only involves
Ureteral stents reduce complications after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL*) and contribute to successful stone passage. However, some reports note complications that are attributed to indwelling ureteral stents. We randomized 64 patients with large renal calculi (stone burden more than
BACKGROUND
In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (UGPN) for the treatment in patients with kidney stones (KS).
METHODS
We randomly assigned 86 patients with KS to a UGPN group or a control group, each group comprising 43 patients. Patients
In this study, we aimed to present our results on single-guidewire flexible ureteroscopy and retrograde intrarenal surgery without fluoroscopy and an access sheet, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure retrospectively.Our routine Background: Migration of Hem-O-Lok clips in pelvicaliceal system after nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) is rare. We present a rare case of clip migration 8 years after robotic NSS. Case Presentation: A 61-year-old female presented with right flank pain and fever 8 years
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) remains the standard procedure for large (≥2 cm) renal calculi; however, up to one quarter of PCNL patients experience some perioperative complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate the factors that may influence bleeding and fever
