Artificial intelligence (AI) platforms such as ChatGPT and Bard are increasingly utilized to answer patient health care questions. We present the first study blindly evaluate AI-generated responses common endourology questions against official education materials.
Pulse-modulated holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) and SuperPulse thulium fiber laser are high-power systems used for retrograde intrarenal surgery. We conducted a prospective randomized trial to compare lithotripsy efficiency, complications, stone-free rates. Patients with CT-confirmed stones between 5 20 mm were randomly assigned pulse-modulated Ho:YAG (Moses 2.0, 120 W) or (60 W). The primary outcome was absolute (0 fragment) rate 6 weeks postoperatively evaluated by CT. Secondary outcomes included...
Introduction: Ambulatory percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has grown in popularity for patients with smaller stone burdens and few comorbidities. Its feasibility complex renal calculi is less clear. In this study, we evaluate the safety of same-day discharge after PCNL stones when compared those admitted surgery. Methods: We retrospectively identified adult who underwent from April 2019 to January 2021 at our institution. Our practice routinely admitting was changed October 2020 largely...
Introduction and Objectives: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard treatment for large, complex intrarenal stones. Tubeless PCNL (t-PCNL) where no nephrostomy tube placed totally tubeless (tt-PCNL) in selected patients have been well described. There has study to our knowledge discharging same day tubeless. In this study, we describe experience with tt-PCNL on a outpatient basis-with patient going home absolutely tube, catheter, or stent, evaluating its safety efficacy...

Introduction: Calcium oxalate (CaOx) is the predominate component within renal calculi and can be divided into two subtypes: CaOx-monohydrate (COM) CaOx-dihydrate (COD). COM COD form in differing urinary environments, which suggest differential underlying metabolic abnormalities associated with each subtype. We compared clinical findings CaOx stone formers to delineate factors differentiating implication this holds terms of etiology treatment. Patients Methods: identified that had passed...
Residual fragments following retrograde intrarenal surgery can lead to future stone episodes. The lower pole of the kidney presents a unique challenge as it is most difficult location for surgery. We investigated modified patient position increase stone-free rate by analyzing presence residual fragments. randomized patients into standard and T-Tilt (15° Trendelenburg 15° airplane away from surgical side kidney).In this prospective, study, were or position. Demographics, comorbidities...
Purpose: Radiation exposure from fluoroscopy poses risks to patients and surgeons. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has traditionally required fluoroscopy, however, the use of ultrasound (US) decreased radiation exposure. US guidance in supine PCNL (S-PCNL) may further reduce In this study, we investigate patient operative factors affecting time (second), total dose (mGy), effective (ED, mSv) undergoing US-guided S-PCNL or prone (P-PCNL). Methods: We performed a retrospective study...
While surgical intervention for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) is traditionally recommended alongside bladder stone removal in males, recent studies have questioned the necessity of this approach. This study aims to evaluate long-term outcomes without concomitant BPO surgery.
Introduction and Objectives: Ureteroscopic management of impacted ureteral stones poses multiple challenges. We examined whether thickness measured on preoperative noncontrast computed tomography (CT) is predictive stone impaction at the time ureteroscopy (URS). Methods: Thirty-eight patients with CT scan undergoing URS for were prospectively studied. Ureteral directly above, around (peri-calculus [P-CUT]), below calculus determined scan. The cross-sectional surface area (P-CUT) was also...
Purpose: Retropulsion of stone fragments during ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy (URSLL) remains a challenge for urologists and is associated with increased operative time reduced stone-free rate (SFR). In this study, we compared the retropulsion ureteral stones URSLL between standard dorsal lithotomy (SDL) position reverse Trendelenburg (RT). Materials Methods: Patients requiring surgical intervention May 2019 January 2022 were randomized to undergo in either SDL or RT positions. The primary...
Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the gold standard treatment for large, complex intrarenal stones. Historically, this was performed using a nephrostomy tube (PCN) and/or internalized ureteral stent at end of procedure. However, totally tubeless (tt-PCNL) novel technique where no tubes (no nor tube) are left post-operatively. We review literature on subject regarding peri-operative outcomes, post-operative and potential complications procedure, discuss our technique, make...
