Filter by:To determine if the effects of MOSES laser modulation technology can improve the safety and efficiency to laser fragmentation resulting in decreased total laser time, reduced potential for injury to the patient, and total OR time and utilization.
Patients with nephrolithiasis and evidence of hypocitraturia or aciduria who would otherwise be started on potassium citrate, can achieve similar urine alkalization with 500-1000 mL of daily low calorie orange juice consumption.
Patients included in the study included the necessary tests U / A, K, Na, Cr, BUN, CBC, And U / C was checked and anesthesia counseling was done. Patients were prepared for action. The demographic and clinical data of the patients, including age, sex, size, and location of the stones were recorded. Then patients as random allocation were divided into two groups: A (control group, no basket of bases and group B (use of pneumatic synchronous buccal waist). The dividing person and the patients themselves were not aware of which group they were in. They were double-blind was. In each group, ureteroscopy was performed using a standard F9.5 ureteroscope. After reaching the rock in group A (control), the probe of the pneumatic crusher was passed through the working channel of the ureteroscope and began crushing the rock. During the crushing process, the minimum flow of water, flattening and the single-shot impact was used to minimize the stone's retropulsion. In group B (using a basket of wires3F) the helical type was passed through the four wires of the working channel of the ureteroscope and routed to the proximal part of the rock, and the stone was routed to the bowl, then the stone was ducted The gasket was kept, and the probe of the pneumatic crusher also passed through the working channel and proceeded to break it down. Conditions were observed during the stomach as the control group. Ureteroscopic crushing was performed by a urologist in both groups under similar technical conditions. Findings during and after the completion of crushing include the success, stone retropulsion or parts larger than 3 mm, which requires secondary measures (SWL - ureter stenting, resection ureteroscopy), the duration of stone breakdown and traumatic ureteric complications in both groups it is registered.
The purpose of this study is to measure how well two different devices work to break up and remove kidney stones. We are comparing a newer device to an older one to see which one is faster at breaking up kidney stones. We hypothesize that the Trilogy will increase the stone clearance rate by 25% compared to the Shockpulse-SE
Patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) were randomly allocated to general anesthesia (GA) or spinal anesthesia (SA) groups. Renal function was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate, and relative renal function was evaluated using nuclear medicine tests. Maneuverability and accessibility were evaluated after every surgery. We analyzed the influence of anesthesia methods on surgical outcomes and renal function in retrograde intrarenal surgery in a prospective, randomized controlled study.
Frankincense, or olibanum, is the oleogum resin that is harvested from several different trees, an aromatic resin obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia. The word frankincense is derived from the ancient French name "frankincense," meaning "pure incense." Frankincense is also known in Arabic as "luban,". Luban has been reported to have anti-inflammatory, sedative, antibacterial, and anti-cancer activities. The aim of the present study is to treat renal stones with Luban (Boswellia) given as capsules of active oils. This is a clinical Phase I & II (Safety, Efficacy) double-blind simple-randomized controlled treatment trial, where 100 participants with renal stones (50 Radiopaque and 50 Radiolucent stones) will be included in the study and divided between two treatment groups: Standard treatment (Uralyt-U) and new treatment (Luban). Participants with stone size less than 10 mm will be include; and participants with renal pathology or comorbidities (DM, CKD, multiple renal cysts, renal tumors) will be excluded. The outcome measures of the study will be: the primary end point (effect) is reduction of stone size by 50% or complete disappearance after 1 years of treatment; and the secondary end point (toxicity) is the participants intolerance of the treatment or development of side effects. If this study proves an effect of Luban on renal stones it will be an evolution in the management of renal stones by a natural, simple, harmless easily available method.
Cholelithiasis occurs in 10-20% of the general population. Up to 18% of these subjects will present symptoms. In patients with symptomatic choledocholithiasis who are not candidates for surgery with indication for ERCP, transmural drainage of the gallbladder reduces the risk of recurrence. The investigators propose a multicentric double-blind randomized trial. Our primary objective is to assess whether ERCP associated with transmural gallbladder drainage is able to reduce biliary disease income compared with ERCP in patients not candidates for surgery with symptomatic choledocholithiasis and cholelithiasis during one year of follow-up. Also the investigators will analyze the proportion of technical success and complications. The study population includes all patients older than 75 years with symptomatic choledocholithiasis. An estimated 75 subjects per group (ERCP alone and ERCP and transmural drainage) are needed.
A double blind randomized controlled trial designed to compare pain control and safety with ketorolac and oxycodone in the post-operative setting for patients undergoing ureteroscopy for treatment of urinary stones. Patients are followed for five days after their surgery as they record their pain scores, medication utilization, and stent related symptoms.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the home-use device Silk'n toothbrush (ToothWave) for the improvement in dental health through the reduction of plaque, gingivitis, and calculus.
Burst Wave Lithotripsy (BWL) is a novel method of urinary stone fragmentation that uses multi-cycle bursts of low amplitude ultrasound to induce stone fracture. This is in contrast to traditional extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), which employs a brief single compression/tensile cycle of high amplitude (shock) waves to achieve stone fracture. This is a single-arm feasibility study to test the ability of BWL to comminute (fragment) stones in humans.
