Introduction Double J stent is a common medical device, and it may become encrusted causing significant concern. Understanding the composition associated risk factors for stents crucial appropriate management. Objective: to evaluate types of DJ encrustation by infrared spectroscopy correlate them with patient characteristics computerized tomographic findings. Methods All surgically removed over one-year period underwent analysis encrustations were compared patient’s demographic, clinical,...
Single use and reusable variants of holmium:YAG laser fibers are available to treat calculi during ureteroscopic procedures. In this prospective, multicenter study we evaluated a series optical fibers. We hypothesized that provide cost advantage over single variants.We prospectively recorded fiber data, including type, size, number uses, pulse energy frequency, total delivered. All were new purchased off the shelf by staff at each institution. performed analysis comparing variants.During 541...
The purpose of the study was to assess construct validity an Objective Structured Assessment Technical Skills (OSATS) developed for cystoscopic and ureteroscopic cognitive psychomotor skills.An OSATS designed based on a 14-point comprehensive curriculum prepared by two experts that targeted both skills. Ten urology residents from single institution with different levels training were assessed series stations these Evaluation skills done via written examination, assessment using subjective...
Although the supracostal approach is thought to increase difficulties and patient morbidity of PCNL, it facilitates management certain urinary infirmities, such as UPJ obstruction, staghorn stone, upper pole proximal ureteral abnormalities, impacted stone calix diverticulum. Hereby authors briefly comment on technical aspects approach, also discuss possible complications this technique how avoid them.
<i>Introduction and Objective:</i> When feasible, the treatment for all-invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy. The aim of present study was to analyze prognostic difference, disease-specific survival rate, muscle-invasive transitional cell (TCCB) progressive invasive TCCB. <i>Patients Methods:</i> A retrospective multicentric analysis performed studying a total 242 patients who underwent cystectomy TCCB from 1993 2005. were divided into two groups: group 1...
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) are viable options for the treatment of renal calculi 1-2 cm. Both have their pros cons, but also vary in costs. We aimed to evaluate them an economically challenged setting.Two-hundred-seventy-one patients who underwent mPCNL (120) or RIRS (151) cm were recruited study. Cases comparatively statistically analyzed differences patient stone parameters, duration operation hospital stay, clinical outcomes such as...
