To identify predictors of patients postoperative readmission after PNL
Due to the anatomic characteristics of the lower calyx, lower pole stones are difficult to be eliminated through the ureter, even if the stones had been fragmented. Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) can be used to deal with lower pole stones of 1.0-2.0 cm, while percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) is mainly used to deal with lower pole stones with larger diameter or when RIRS failed to resolve the stone. This study was conducted to compare mini PCNL and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the management of lower pole kidney stones in terms of efficacy.
The aim of this study is to compare the anesthesia methods in percutaneous nephrolithotomy in terms of safety and effectiveness in elderly men.
The investigators will assess the use of Transcutaneous Neurostimulation (TENS), a pharmacological alternative, for treatment of ureteral stent pain post-ureteroscopy. The primary aim for the investigators is to determine if use of a TENS unit will reduce post-operative pain and nausea associated with the ureteral stent. Secondary aim will be to assess if it can help minimize narcotic use.
The aim of this study is to test the effect of a new drug on the composition of the urine in kidney stone patients. This new drug (Jardiance®, substance: empagliflozin) is currently approved in Switzerland for the treatment of patients with diabetes. Data from previous studies with and without diabetes suggest that it may have a beneficial effect on the composition of the urine and thereby reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.
In the present study investigators aimed to investigate whether homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) polymorphism is associated with renal stone formation in Turkish population or not. One hundred and twenty nine participants with calcium nephrolithiasis and 67 sex and age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. For analysis of HIPK2 polymorphism, the real-time PCR amplification was performed in a final volume of 20μL reaction mixture, including 10 ng of genomic DNA, 5 µL of TaqMan® Universal PCR Master Mix, and 0.5 µL of 40X TaqMan® assay. The Rotor-Gene Q Series Software Version Q 2.3.1 (Rotor-Gene Q Series, Ziagen) was used for allelic discrimination. Chi square test was utilized to compare the differences of the genotype and allele frequencies between patients and controls.
To analyze and compare the puncture success rate, puncture fluoroscopy time and intraoperative puncture complications of two different puncture techniques; fluoroscopic bi-planar (0-30º) versus newly reported bi-planar (0-90º) technique in PCNL.
The purpose of this study is to collect real-world evidence on the performance of the SOLTIVE™ Premium SuperPulsed Laser System for laser lithotripsy in ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and mini PCNL for kidney and ureteral stones.
This is a first-in-man (FIM) study to show feasibility and safety profile of the newly developed robotic device for percutaneous access in PCNL surgery. Patients with renal stone disease who had standard indications for prone PCNL were included in the study. PCNL was conducted with percutaneous puncture with the aid of robotic device with the use of intra-operative fluoroscopy. 5 patients were recruited in this pilot study over a period of 3 months. Punctures were performed by the board-qualified urologist.
