The assessed clinically and radiologically at 6 months review. Twenty-seven children (64%) had good result, 2 (5%) fair 13 (31%) poor result. Primary angulation was most important factor affecting results. Periarticular ossification, avascular necrosis, enlargement radial head proximal end causes Unlike other with unpredictable results, more...
Objective: To compare trends and incidence of surgical intervention among adults with urolithiasis in Ontario, Canada, Israel. Patients methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using administrative databases from Clalit Health Service Israel IC/ES Canada. The study included who underwent their initial treatment for urolithiasis. Descriptive statistics summarized baseline patient demographics, while comparisons were analyzed a t -test. Results: Between 2003 2018, 31,034 105,013...
Objectives: To assess the capability of Raman spectroscopy (RS) in analysis stone composition utilizing microscopic fragments from irrigation fluid during ureteroscopy (URS) and laser lithotripsy. Patients Methods: A prospective, blinded study involving patients undergoing URS with Irrigation collected procedure was centrifuged, particles were analyzed using RS. Simultaneously, underwent formal by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) a different laboratory. The researcher conducting RS to...
Background/Objectives: To assess the incidence and factors associated with urethral stricture following monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (mTURP) open simple prostatectomy (OSP) over a 21-year period. Methods: We conducted retrospective cohort study adult male patients insured by Clalit Health Services in Israel, who underwent either mTURP or OSP at multiple centers. Key baseline characteristics, including age, body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic status, Charlson comorbidity...
Purpose: To reduce the high recurrence rate of nephrolithiasis, patients are routinely prescribed secondary chemoprevention therapy with alkali citrate (Alkasolve®; Sam-On Ltd) for uric acid stones and hypocitraturia or hydrochlorthiazide (Disothiazide®; Dexcel hypercalciuria. However, data on adherence to these regimens limited. The aim this study was assess rates long-term hydrochlorothiazide reasons nonadherence. Materials Methods: Patients follow-up kidney stone disease at a dedicated...
To evaluate the long-term stone-free rate (SFR) of retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS) in treatment lower pole renal calculi using only basket relocation and identify independent predictors status.All consecutive patients undergoing RIRS at a single high-volume tertiary center were analyzed retrospectively. Lower stones relocated to upper pole, where laser lithotripsy was performed. All followed up clinic following yearly thereafter. The status assessed with combination an abdominal...
To investigate the gender gap in context of stone-related surgery within an Israeli population.
To examine gender-related differences in the presentation, management, and outcomes of patients admitted to emergency department ED with ureteral stones.Retrospective analysis all at our institution, found have a stone on CT. Clinical, laboratory, imaging parameters, were collected.778 stones between January 2018 December 2020. 78% (n = 609) males 22% 169) females. The mean ages 49.4 (SD 14.4) 51.6 15.7) females, respectively (p 0.08). Female presented higher body temperature 0.01), pulse...
Introduction: We aimed to review the trends and incidence of surgical intervention for adults with upper urinary tract stones in Ontario, Canada, hypothesize potential causes observed changes. Methods: carried out a retrospective, population-based cohort study using administrative databases held at Institute Clinical Evaluative Sciences (IC/ES) identify all (≥18 years) who underwent treatment urolithiasis, defined by records combination both hospital physician billing from 2002–2019....
We aimed to assess the outcome of our series simple prostatectomy at institution using open (OSP) and robotic-assisted (RASP) approaches. conducted a retrospective chart review men who underwent OSP RASP Western University, in London, ON. Preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative data were collected analyzed. From 2012-2020, 29 institution. Eight patients an 21 RASP. The median age was 69 years. Preoperative prostate volume 153 cm<sup>3</sup> (range 80-432). surgical...
Management of postoperative pain following percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) is a significant goal. We sought to identify risk factors and clinical correlates in order improve perioperative management patient satisfaction.A single-center, retrospective analysis, from prospectively maintained database, all consecutive patients who underwent PCNL for renal calculi between January 2011 August 2018. Postoperative was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) analgesic use. considered VAS...
Brucellosis, a systemic infection, can affect various organs, including the genitourinary system, causing epididymo-orchitis in 2%-20% of cases. This report details 34-year-old Thai male migrant worker with febrile orchitis. Initial gentamicin treatment failed, but serological tests confirmed brucellosis, likely from raw dairy consumption. The patient was successfully treated gentamicin, doxycycline, and rifampicin, resulting complete symptom resolution. Brucella orchitis, though rare,...
Purpose: To compare long-term results following ureteroscopic stone fragmentation and removal versus dusting. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent ureteroscopy for renal calculi at two high-volume tertiary centres between 2012 2013, therefore allowing follow-up. The surgeons differed in their technique, some performing dusting the most part others fragmentation. Inclusion criteria were free first follow-up sole use laser lithotripsy is either by or...
To examine differences in the presentation, management, and outcomes of patients admitted to emergency department (ED) with ureteral stones, prior history urolithiasis compared a first stone event.Retrospective analysis who visited ED that were found have on CT. Patients stratified into two groups: without (Group 1) 2).Between 2018 2020, 778 stones. group 1 presented higher mean serum creatinine (p = 0.02), larger size < 0.0001), proportion proximal stones 0.0001) than 2.
