To evaluate stone-free rate, device maneuverability, and complications after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) using 2 different sizes of flexible navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS).
We determined the optimal Ho:YAG lithotripsy power settings to achieve maximal fragmentation, minimal fragment size and retropulsion.Stone phantoms were irradiated in water with a laser using 365 μm optical fiber. Six distinct tested, including 0.2 2.0 J 10 40 Hz. For all cohorts 500 total radiant energy delivered. A seventh cohort (0.2 Hz) was tested post hoc of 1,250 J. Two experimental conditions without phantom stabilization. Total retropulsion characterized. In mechanism experiments...
Fragments 4 mm or smaller after ureteroscopy historically have been considered clinically insignificant but there is a reported 20% event rate on followup even with stones smaller. In this study we examine the natural history, complications and re-intervention rates of fragments ureteroscopy.Data from 6 centers were collected retrospectively members Endourology Disease Group for Excellence in 232 patients who had residual between 2006 2013. Patients fragment(s) any size imaging within 12...
There is scant evidence in the literature to support dusting vs active basket extraction during ureteroscopy for kidney stones. We prospectively evaluated and followed patients determine which modality produced a higher stone-free rate with fewest complications.Members of Endourologic Disease Group Excellence research consortium enrolled renal stone burden ranging from 5 20 mm this study. A holmium laser was used all were stented postoperatively. Ureteral access sheaths 100% basketing cases...

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is accepted as a primary modality for the management of renal stones up to 2 cm. The limitations RIRS in larger volume include limited visualization due snow-globe effect and persistence fragments that cannot be removed. We describe new, simple, cost-effective modification can attached any flexible ureteroscope which allows simultaneous/alternating suction aspiration during/after laser lithotripsy using scope conduit remove or dust from pelvicalyceal...
To report on our first-in-human experience using the LithoVue Elite™ ureteroscope (Boston Scientific Corp., Marlborough, MA, USA) to measure intrarenal pressure (IRP) during flexible ureteroscopy.
The focus of this guideline is the management ureteral stones. Specifically, topics covered include: conservative management, medical expulsive therapy, active intervention with either shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) or ureteroscopy (URS), factors affecting SWL treatment success, optimizing and special considerations (e.g., pregnancy, urinary diversion). By performing extensive literature reviews for each topic evaluated, we have generated an evidence-based consensus on objective to help...
Heparin-based anticoagulant drugs have been widely used for the prevention of blood clotting during surgical procedures and treatment thromboembolic events. However, bleeding risks associated with these anticoagulants demand continuous monitoring neutralization suitable antidotes. Protamine, only clinically approved antidote to heparin, has shown adverse effects ineffectiveness against low-molecular weight heparins fondaparinux, a heparin-related medication. Alternative approaches based on...
Introduction: With an increase in the prevalence of kidney stone disease (KSD), there has been a universal drive to develop reliable and user-friendly tools such as grading systems predictive nomograms. An atlas scoring (SS), tools, nomograms Endourology is provided this article. Methods: A comprehensive search world literature was performed identify nomograms, systems, classification endourology related KSD. Each these reviewed by authors evaluated narrative format with details on those...
