Suction techniques showed potential to improve outcomes of retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS). We assessed the 24-hour stone-free rate (SFR) and complications after RIRS using flexible navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS-UAS).
Literature suggests that the percutaneous punctures for nephrolithotomy (PCNL) must be performed at papilla of renal calix and a puncture infundibulum or direction pelvis is not advisable because increased hemorrhagic risk. A prospective randomized study was conducted to investigate safety in terms blood loss infundibular approach PCNL.Patients with stones an accumulative size least 2 cm were randomly assigned one two parallel groups undergo PCNL either papillary (Group 1) 2) access. The...
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...
The current experimental study aimed at evaluating the temperature raise of irrigation fluid caused by use thulium (Tm:YAG) and holmium laser (Ho:YAG) in upper urinary tract (UT) pigs.An setting was designed for investigation differences renal pelvis a porcine model under different flow rates power settings. configuration included single-use flexible ureteroscope, Tm:YAG Ho:YAG system. A thermocouple inserted through 6F ureteral catheter that placed parallel to FlexVue pelvis. An additional...
Pre-stenting remains a subject of debate, and its influence on FANS assisted ureteroscopy is unclear. The global collaborative group aims to address the pre-stenting FANS-assisted ureterorenoscopy (URS). This prospective multicentre study assesses outcomes 394 patients undergoing for renal stones. Patients were stratified into non-pre-stented (group 1, n = 163) pre-stented 2, 231). Data demographics, stone characteristics, operative parameters, postoperative 30-day analysed. Statistical...
To analyze available randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) with other modalities for urinary stone treatment to determine the extent of pelvicalyceal system (PCS) anatomy between patients. In December 2024, a search was conducted in databases and limited publications that describe comparisons experimental control groups context RIRS stones only kidney (PCS). Only RCTs without publication date restriction were included due their highest level...
To compare the retropulsion of stones with use holmium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho: YAG) laser and thulium: (Tm: in settings that could be used clinical practice.The experimental configuration included a glass tube set water bath filled physiologic saline. Plaster Paris were inserted tube. Tm: YAG Ho: systems along high-speed slow-motion camera. The lasers activated different settings. displacement stone was measured according to custom-made algorithm.Ho: YAG: lowest energy setting 0.5 J...
The current experimental study aimed into evaluating the temperature raise of irrigation fluid caused by use Thulium:Yttrium aluminum garnet (Tm:YAG) laser. setting was designed to replicate conditions upper urinary tract (UT) surgery.An for investigation differences in different flow rates, laser power settings, and activation times modes. configuration included a burette equipped with micrometric stopcock, thermocouple, modified 40-mL vessel. A Tm:YAG Holmium:Yttrium (Ho:YAG) devices were...
Background and objectives The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic on March 11, 2020. health care system faced tremendous challenges in providing ethical high-quality care. impact of COVID-19 urological practices varied widely worldwide, including Arab countries. This study aimed to compare influence urology practice Egypt, KSA, UAE during first year pandemic. Methods sub-analysis assessed demographics COVID-19’s effects terms adjustments...
Aims: The Saudi Urolithiasis Guidelines are a set of recommendations for diagnosing, evaluating, and treating urolithiasis in the population. These guidelines based on latest evidence expert consensus to improve patient outcomes optimize care delivery. They cover various aspects urolithiasis, including risk factors, diagnosis, medical surgical treatments, prevention strategies. By following these guidelines, health-care professionals can quality individuals with Arabia. Panel: Panel consists...
Objective: To determine the utilization of barley and parsley for managing urolithiasis among Saudi Arabian population. Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional survey-based study. The survey comprised questions about use barley, parsley, other therapies urolithiasis. A WhatsApp® message with link to study was sent out family, friends, patients, acquaintances residing in Kingdom Arabia (KSA). Results: total 1014 respondents completed survey, which 44.8% indicated that they utilized...
