Purpose . We aimed to compare and evaluate the outcomes complications of two endoscopic treatment procedures, semirigid ureteroscopy (SR-URS) flexible (F-URS), in proximal ureteral stones (PUS). Methods SR-URS (group 1) was done on 68 patients whereas 64 underwent F-URS 2) for PUS. Success rate defined as absence stone fragments or presence asymptomatic insignificant residual &lt; 2 mm. Outcomes were recorded. Results The differences statistically not significant age, gender, body mass index...

We intended to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of simultaneous rigid flexible ureteroscopic treatment symptomatic ureteral ipsilateral small calyceal stones. Outcomes combined therapy were compared with monotherapy alone.In this retrospective study, group 1 consisted 45 patients middle or lower stones treated by therapy. Group 2 included only monotherapy. Stone characteristics, operative time, hospital stay, stone free rates, complications between groups 2. status was defined as...

IntroductionWe investigated whether anterior periprostatic fat (APPF) tissue removed during robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP) contains any lymph nodes (LNs).Material and methods APPF tissues RARP in 129 patients were evaluated histopathologically.Correlation with postoperative pathologic stage was made.Patients a history of previous prostate or bladder surgery radiation therapy excluded.Results Mean patient age, serum specific antigen (PSA), weight body mass index (BMI) 62.2 ±5.5 (range...
