Jejunoileal bypass operations have been used for more than 20 years for the treatment of massive obesity. This treatment results in malabsorption with diarrhoea, especially during the first year after the operation. A high incidence of urinary tract calculi have been found in these patients (4, 5,
OBJECTIVE
To establish the safety and efficacy of planned multi-session retrograde endoscopic lithotripsy (REL) for the treatment of large renal calculi in the morbidly obese.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed charts of patients who underwent multi-session REL procedures from 2003 to 2008.
Of 93 patients with small bowel bypass for massive exogenous obesity, three developed calcium oxalate urinary calculi, four stones in their gallbladder, and one developed both gallstones and urinary calculi during a mean follow-up period of 17.6 plus or minus 9.0 months. The urinary oxalate
OBJECTIVE
Low dose computerized tomography protocols have demonstrated a reduction in radiation exposure while maintaining excellent sensitivity and specificity in the detection of stones in patients of average size. Low dose computerized tomography protocols have not yet been evaluated in subjects
OBJECTIVE
To report a matched comparison of morbidly obese (MO) patients and normal weight (NW) patients who underwent ureteroscopic (URS) treatment of renal calculi. Shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrostolithotomy may be precluded in MO patients, and URS treatment offers a minimally
BACKGROUND
Treatment of the morbidly obese patient with symptomatic renal calculi is an interesting urological challenge. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is frequently not possible for several reasons, and many urological centers match these patients as one of the residual indications for open
OBJECTIVE
To disclose the link between the composition of urolithiasis, especially that of uric acid calculi, and obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension.
METHODS
Patients who had urinary calculi and underwent surgical treatment were registered in the study. The composition
To assess the association of skin-to-stone distance (SSD) and stone-free rates following shock-wave lithotripsy (SWL) using two statistical methods: logistic regression and a matched-pair analysis approach. Patients & Methods Patients with a solitary radio-opaque upper ureteric calculus
OBJECTIVE
The treatment of urinary tract stones in obese patients may differ from the treatment of non-obese patients and their success rate varies. Our objective was to compare ureteroscopic treatment outcomes of ureteral and renal stones, stratified for stone size and location, between overweight,
OBJECTIVE
The surgical treatment of kidney and proximal ureteral stones in morbidly obese patients (>14 kg/m2) remains difficult because shockwave lithotripsy is precluded by weight limitations and percutaneous nephrolithotomy is associated with difficult access and a high (9%) rate of transfusion.
Twelve patients having received an end-to-side jejunoileal bypass operation for morbid obesity 6-10 years previously were studied over three periods of 2 weeks each. The first period was used for baseline observations without any treatment. For the second period patients were randomly assigned to
In contrast to the majority of renal calculi, in situ extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for upper ureteral stones is still controversial. Some centers recommend retrograde mobilization of the calculus into the renal pelvis prior to ESWL as a routine procedure (UC + ESWL). To evaluate the
