The aim of this study was to reach a consensus in the classification and standardized reporting for different types PCNLs.The RAND/UCLA appropriateness methodology used consensus. Thirty-two statements were formulated reviewing literature on guidelines PCNLs, included procedure specific details, outcome measurements PCNLs. Experts invited two rounds input, first enabled independent modifications proposed provided option add statements. second round facilitated scoring all Each statement...
Abstract Over the past three decades, there has been increasing interest in miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) techniques featuring smaller tracts as they offer potential solutions to mitigate complications associated with standard PCNL (sPCNL). However, despite this growing acceptance and recognition of its benefits, unresolved controversies acknowledged limitations continue impede widespread adoption due a lack consensus on optimal perioperative management strategies...
Fluoroscopy is increasingly used to guide minimally invasive endourological procedures and optimised protocols are needed minimise radiation exposure while achieving best treatment results. This multi-center study of patients was conducted by the South-Eastern European Group for Urolithiasis Research (SEGUR), in cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency. Seven clinical centers from SEGUR group collected data 325 performed within a three-months period, including standard...
Introduction: Fluoroscopy-guided endourology procedures require proper radiation protection to minimize risk. This multicenter study aimed at investigating practice and related exposure of operating team members. Materials Methods: Six centers from the South-Eastern European Group for Urolithiasis Research answered questionnaires collected data 315 performed within a 3-months period, with simultaneous measurement dose staff area product (DAP) patient. A pair calibrated personal dosimeters,...
The aim is to estimate the possibility new annual dose limit for eye lens be exceeded and study impact of protective shield. Radiation exposure medical personnel was evaluated with EDD-30 dosemeter in positions operating surgeon, assisting doctor nurse. At operator's typical position diagnosis treatment urinary tract, rates were 0.9 mSv h−1 0.06 without lead percutaneous intervention 1.9 0.02 h−1, respectively. workload, main operator screen estimated 29 mSv. With screen, can reduced by a...
Objective: To study urinary stone composition patterns in different populations around the world. Materials and methods: Data were collected by reviewing charts of 1204 adult patients 10 countries with renal or ureteral stones (> 18 years) whom a analysis was done available. Any method accepted, but methodology had to be registered. Results: In total, we observed 710 (59%) calcium oxalate, 31 (1%) phosphate, 161 (13%) mixed oxalate/calcium 15 carbapatite, 110 (9%) uric acid, 7 (< 1%)...
To investigate some epidemiological aspects of kidney stones in the South- Eastern European area.From September 2015 to December 2015, 538 consecutive patients were treated and evaluated for reno-ureteral eight departments Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, FYR Macedonia, Romania, Serbia Turkey.The age onset was lower Turkey higher Italy. The rate recurrent Romania Serbia, while first renal stone formers more frequent previous history stones, characteristics dietary habits different countries. In...
Objective: The purposes of this multi-center study were to evaluate the rate infection stones and urine cultures patients with stones. Materials: Charts adulpatients urinary reviewed data on stone analyses collected. Results: In total, 1204 renal formers (RSFs) from 10 countries included (776 males, 428 females). Fifty-six (4.6%) had struvite highest frequency was observed in India (23%) Pakistan (18%). Lower rates reported Canada (2%), China (3%), Argentina Iraq Italy (3.5%) Poland...
Objective: To evaluate spectrum and resistance rates to antibacterial agents in causative pathogens of bacterial prostatitis patients from Southern Europe, the Middle East, Africa. Materials: 1027 isolates cultures urine or expressed prostatic secretion, post-massage seminal fluid, urethral samples were considered. Results: Escherichia coli (32%) Enterococcus spp. (21%) most common isolates. Other Gram-negative, Gram-positive, atypical accounted for 22%, 20%, 5%, respectively. Resistance was...
(1) Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether overweight and obese upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC) patients have better or worse survival outcomes. (2) Methods: Clinical Research Office the Endourology Society Urothelial Carcinomas Upper Tract (CROES-UTUC) Registry used extract data normal-weight overweight/obese UTUC between 2014 2019. Patients with a BMI 18.5 24.9 kg/m2 were defined as normal weight, while those ≥ 25.0 considered group. We compared baseline...
The purpose of this work is to study doses patients undergoing interventional endourological procedures. was performed in a modern Clinic Endourology and Shockwave Lithotripsy, equipped with two dedicated X-ray systems. following information recorded for each patient: type the procedure, patient age, fluoroscopy time, number images acquired dose air kerma-area product, PKA, measured KAP-meters integrated units. Eleven types procedures were included. From collected sample 429 all procedures,...

Objective: To collect evidence on the rate of obesity in renal stone formers (RSFs) living different climatic areas and consuming diets. Materials methods: Data adult were retrospectively collected by members U-merge from 13 participant centers Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria (2), China, India, Iraq Italy Nigeria, Pakistan Poland. The following data collected: age, gender, weight, height, analysis procedure removal. Results: In total, 1689 (1032 males, 657 females) 10 countries considered....
Introduction: Prostate cancer remains a formidable health challenge, demanding diagnostic strategies that balance accuracy and invasiveness. To enhance early detection accurate risk stratification, various methods have been developed. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered the standard imaging modality for localization of prostate cancer. Reporting Data System (PI-RADS) standardized system assigns scores to suspicious lesions based on MRI findings. This helps distinguish likelihood...
Introduction: Ureteral strictures are severe and difficult to treat disorders significantly affect the quality of life patients. Endoscopic laser ureterotomy is a minimally invasive procedure that increasingly used for management ureteral strictures. Objective:The objective our study evaluate efficacy safety Holmium endoureterotomy in treatment with length ≤ 10 mm. Material methods:A retrospectively collected database 21 patients who unederwent uretereral mm between January 2018 2021 Clinic...
Introduction and objective: Management of large impacted proximal ureteral stones is often challenging due to the presence mucosal edema, inflammation angulations ureter. Improvements in ureteroscopic technology increased efficacy safety ureteroscopy (URS) as a first-line treatment The objective this retrospective study evaluate URS for management ≥ 10 mm.
