Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is the main treatments for upper urinary tract stones. The Ureteral Access Sheath (UAS) serves as a supplementary tool, facilitating direct kidney access during RIRS. High quality of evidence comparing tip bendable suction ureteral sheath (S-UAS) with traditional UAS in RIRS treatment renal and stones lacking. purpose study to compare efficacy safety S-UAS or ≤30 mm.
To investigate plasma and urinary kynurenine (KYN)-tryptophan (TRP) ratios in bladder cancer, expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) relation to tryptophan (TDO2) tumour, the correlation KYN-TRP ratio with tumour burden.Metabotyping TRP-KYN metabolic axis was performed via a clinical case-control study. Expression IDO1 TDO2 measured human biopsied tissues. Correlational experiments between were using murine orthotopic prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-secreting MB49 cancer model.We...
Introduction To compare the clinical outcomes and complication rates of Convective Water Vapour Energy Ablation (Rezum®) Prostatic Urethral Lift (Urolift®). identify predictive factors for treatment failures in both treatments. Materials & Methods Prospective clinico-epidemiological data patients who underwent Urolift® or Rezum® a single institution Benign Hyperplasia (BPH) was collected. The choice intervention depended on preference after patient-centric discussions. Results From October...
To compare and review the outcomes of transperineal (TP) prostate biopsies with transrectal (TR) performed under local anaesthesia (LA). A relevant published literature is presented.We prospectively analysed 212 consecutive patients who underwent TP biopsy using PrecisionPoint™ access system LA, at our institution from October 2018 to March 2020. We compared morbidity cancer detection rates this approach historical cohort 178 TR method LA.The mean age group was 69 years, median specific...
Purpose: Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) is a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Compared to transurethral resection prostate (TURP), office-based TUNA an attractive alternative as it and avoids general anaesthesia.The aim this study evaluate efficacy single session officebased TUNA.Materials Methods: Data 121 patients who had undergone was retrieved from June 2008 March 2017.Patients were followed-up with visits at 1, 3, 6,...
To identify predictive factors for the development of sepsis/septic shock postdecompression calculi-related ureteric obstruction using Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and to compare clinical outcomes odd risk ratios patients developing following insertion percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) versus retrograde ureteral stenting (RUS).Clinico-epidemiological data who underwent PCN and/or RUS in two institutions were retrospectively collected from January 2014 December 2020.537 (244...
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) of the adult urinary bladder is a rare malignant tumour. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) benign genitourinary that may appear variable histologically but usually lacks unequivocal traits. Techniques like flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry be used to differentiate these two tumours. Our patient, 46-year-old male, had rapidly recurring lower tract symptoms after transurethral resections prostate. He subsequently underwent transvesical...
<title>Abstract</title> Purpose To report on in-vivo intrarenal pressure (IRP) during flexible ureteroscopy for treatment of kidney stones while using the novel bendable suction ureteral access sheath. Methods A retrospective observational analysis was performed 25 patients undergoing routine renal between February 2024 and June from two centres in Canada. The LithoVue Elite<italic>™</italic> ureteroscope (Boston Scientific Corp., Marlborough, MA, USA) with sensing capability used together...
Conventional continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) systems used in Urology have been labor-intensive and challenging for healthcare workers to manage consistently due inter-observer variability interpreting the blood concentration drainage fluid. The team has come up with a feedback system control saline flow-rate. It consists of sensor probe that measures fluid by measuring light intensity absorbed samples. other component is gripper adjusts flow-rate based on detected. Results shown...
