Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an effective procedure for removal of large kidney stones; however, PCNL has traditionally been reserved inpatient surgery. Certain cases are being performed entirely at ambulatory surgery center (ASC), known as (aPCNL). Materials and Methods: Five hundred consecutive procedures a free-standing ASC between April 2015 February 2019 were analyzed. Patient demographics, stone characteristics, operative postoperative data, including transfer...
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to compare the safety, efficacy, quality-of-life impact, and costs a single dose or longer course pre-procedural antibiotics prior elective endoscopic urological procedures in individuals with spinal cord injury disorders (SCI/D) asymptomatic bacteriuria.DesignA prospective observational study.SettingHunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Richmond, Virginia, USA.ParticipantsSixty persons SCI/D bacteriuria scheduled undergo...
Placement of pre-operative ureteral catheters for colorectal surgery can aid in the identification injuries. This study investigates whether simultaneous catheterization with skin preparation minimize operating room times without increasing post-operative complications.Patients undergoing and placement (n=21) were compared to those who underwent these events sequentially (n=28). Operative time-points anesthesia ready (AR), procedure start (PS), dorsal lithotomy catheter insertion (CI) assess...
Background In some cases, preservation of adrenal gland could be at risk in patients with cT1 and cT2 RCC. The aim this study was to evaluate tumor-related factors that can potentially increase the simultaneous adrenalectomy during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (RALRN) cT1-cT2 disease impact performing such procedure on recurrence-free survival (RFS) complication rates. Methods We used a multi-institutional kidney cancer database where we identified who underwent RALRN or...

The aim of the study was to compare overall survival (OS) and unplanned hospital readmissions (UHRs) within 30 days between partial nephrectomy (PN) radical (RN) for clinically localized T1 renal tumors.The National Cancer Database queried identify 51,018 patients who had undergone RN (n = 23,904; 46.9%) or PN 27,114; 53.1%) a cT1N0M0 mass from 2004 2013. OS UHRs were compared using inverse probability treatment weighted (IPTW)-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models.For with...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has traditionally been performed with dual energy lithotripters utilizing both ultrasonic and pneumatic energy. Current such as the LithoClast Select (EMS, Nyon, Switzerland, distributed by Boston Scientific, Marlborough MA) allow for simultaneous combined energy; however, a separate inner probe is required to deliver that when used, significantly decreases lumen size subsequent suction. The Swiss Trilogy Scientific) delivers...
214 Background: 18 F-fluciclovine PET/CT can improve the detection of post-treatment recurrent prostate cancer (PCa). We quantified factors which increase likelihood a positive scan, assessed ability to alter treatment plans and identified an optimal PSA cut-off identify radiographic recurrence. Methods: Patients who received for PCa (n=78) were analyzed. Treatment changes based on scans tracked. A receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used estimate scan. Results: predicted...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Smaller PCNL tracts are becoming popular due to an increasing ability clear even large stones as well decreasing tissue trauma. We postulate that smaller may decrease post-operative pain and narcotic usage in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). METHODS: All mini-PCNL (mPCNL, n=32) standard tract PCNLs (sPCNL, n=67) performed by a single surgeon at ambulatory surgery center within last 6 months were analyzed. mPCNL procedures with 16.5/17.5 French dilator/sheath...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PNL) is a procedure that has traditionally been performed in an inpatient setting with at least overnight stay. Many surgical procedures have evolved over time from to ambulatory surgery center (ASC) setting. Feasibility of Ambulatory PNL (aPNL) was shown our initial pilot series 25 cases [1]. This 650 case reviewed further evaluate outcomes more robust data set. METHODS: We present patients who underwent ASC April 2015 October 2019....
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has traditionally been the standard of care for kidney stones >20 mm. With advent smaller instruments and efficiency holmium laser technology, Mini-PCNL (MIP, Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) which encompasses three sizes (small, medium, large) become a viable option between 10-20 mm also demonstrated efficacy in MIP touted to have significant cost savings direct-items costs due reusable dilator sheath sets. The analysis...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery has traditionally been performed with at least an overnight stay in a hospital for variety of reasons including medical, social and surgeon preferences. There continues to be trend toward moving surgical procedures ambulatory setting. To date there have no criteria established ascertain which patients require inpatient hospitalization after PCNL. The purpose this review is determine what factors lead versus outpatient...
