Patients presenting with ureteral calculi and fever were treated with antibiotics, fluids and careful monitoring. An emergency operation or ureteral manipulation was withheld until the patient became afebrile. In 14 patients so treated all became afebrile and 11 required no surgical intervention. It
The present study was carried out to determine the relationship between fever (> or = 38 degrees C) after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and the history of bacteriuria before ESWL. The subjects of this study comprised 958 patients. Significant bacteriuria before ESWL was found in 75
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the outcome and complications of the use of semirigid ureteroscopy (URS) together with intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripsy in the management of upper ureteral calculi >10 mm in diameter.
METHODS
A total of 75 patients (41 women and 34 men), with a mean age of 48 years (range
OBJECTIVE
We assessed the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy as surgical management for solitary renal pelvic calculi larger than 2 cm.
METHODS
We searched PubMed®, EMBASE®, The Cochrane Library and the Web of Knowledge(SM) databases up to
Hydrops of the gallbladder is a rare pediatric disease. It consists of acute distension of the gallbladder without associated congenital anomalies, biliary calculi or acute local inflammation. Although the etiology is unknown, it appears frequently associated with systemic illnesses. Hepatitis is a
BACKGROUND
The duplex ureter is a common anomaly of urinary tract, but preoperative sonography, plain abdominal radiography, or nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) often overlooked it when involved with urinary tract obstruction. In this report, We present a rare case of left Y-shaped bifid ureter
OBJECTIVE
To determine its potential role in stone therapy, we evaluated our experience with the ureteroscopic removal of intrarenal calculi in 100 patients. We review the indications, techniques, stone-free and overall success rates, and complications.
METHODS
From July 1994 to December 1996
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
186 patients with partial and 55 patients with complete renal staghorn calculi were treated with primary extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) at the Department of Urology, University of Würzburg Medical School. Partial staghorn calculi required an average of 1.4, complete staghorn calculi an
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and costs of percutaneous occlusive balloon catheter-assisted ureteroscopic lithotripsy (POBC-URSL) for large impacted proximal ureteral calculi.
METHODS
156 patients with impacted proximal ureteral stones ≥1.5 cm in size were randomized to
From March, 1984 to April, 1985, 70 cases of upper urinary tract calculi (73 renal units) were treated by percutaneous nephrolithotripsy or transurethro-ureteral lithotripsy, mainly utilizing ultrasonic lithotrite. While in the early period of treatment, two stage procedure of creation of
OBJECTIVE
Tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) remains a challenging technique for the surgical treatment of staghorn renal calculi. Our study was designed to compare surgical outcomes between conventional and tubeless PNL.
METHODS
We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients who
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ureteroscopic lithotripsy as the treatment of ureteral stones in the recent era by comparing the result using a semirigid ureteroscope with the result using a conventional ureteroscope.
METHODS
Between 1991 and 1994, 136 patients
