Filter by:To prospectively compare non-complex biliary stone clearance using fluoroscopy/radiation-free direct solitary cholangioscopy (DSC) utilizing the SpyGlass™ system with non-complex biliary stone clearance using standard endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC).
compare the efficacy of of ultrasound guided SWL versus dissolution therapy versus combined SWL and dissolution therapy in management of 1 - 2.5 cm renal stones.
Double J ureteral stents (DJ) are widely used in urological practice and commonly inserted after most of ureteroscopies. Stent-related symptoms (SRS) represent a major issue. Many research lines have been explored with the aim of decreasing SRS: Vogt et al. projected a self-made pigtail suture stent (PSS) replacing the distal pigtail with a 0.3 Fr suture reaching the bladder, showing decreased SRS and good tolerance. To date, these promising results hasn't been confirmed by a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving a marketed PSS. Thus, we designed a prospective single-blind RCT to compare SRS caused by marketed PSS and conventional DJ after uncomplicated URS for stone treatment.
Prospective randomized controlled single-blind parallel-group trial in order to compare symptoms related to loop-tail (Polaris Loop) stents versus conventional double J (Vortek) stents after uncomplicated flexible URS.
The objective of the this study was to examine the amount and duration of tea consumption in relation to the risk of renal stone disease.
This is a prospect, randomized control trial to evaluate merits between microperc and FURS for lower pole renal stone
A randomized clinical trial to investigate the impact of increased fluid intake and increased urine output on the recurrence rate of urinary stone disease (USD) in adults and children. The primary aim of the trial is to determine whether a multi-component program of behavioral interventions to increase fluid intake will result in reduced risk of stone disease progression over a 2-year period.
compare the outcomes of SWL for renal and upper lumbar ureteric stones using the alternating bidirectional approach versus the standard approach.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of >20mm kidney stones. Microchannel percutaneous nephrolithotomy (Mini PCNL) which takes nephrolithotomy channel size less than or equal to 18, was first used in the treatment of children with kidney stones in 1997, then gradually applied to adult, aims to achieve the similar stone clearance rate as the standard channels, at the same time, reduce the complications. At present, the use of percutaneous renal surgery in our country is more than 18F plastic peel-away sheath, with the access sheath with a suction-evacuation function was first used by Guohua Zeng and so on. But there is still a lack of high quality evidence of Evidence-based medical evidence to compare the two kinds of sheath for the safety and effectiveness. Therefore, this study provides a reliable theoretical basis for the choice of the sheath for the treatment of 2-5cm size Kidney, and ultimately benefit patients with 20mm.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure considered as the treatment of choice for the management of large-scale and fully-formed kidney stones.This procedure has a 5% risk of complications including bleeding, the lesion of the collecting system, the risk of urinary infection and bacteremia. New surgical tools such as dilatation of the nephrostomy tract with mechanical dilatation contribute to the reduction of these risks, together with an improvement in the operative times and a lower rate of complications. At present there are multiple scales measuring the lithiasic morphology (Guy, the STONE nephrolitometry score system and the nomogram of the Office of Clinical Investigation of the Endourology Society - CROES) which allow to evaluate the degree of complexity of the stone, the possibility of residual stones and the risk of complications. These tools allow us to do a better analysis of the risk factors of the patient who will be taken to this type of endoscopic procedure in order to decrease morbidity and complication rates. Hypothesis: The use of pneumatic dilators during percutaneous nephrolithotomy reduces the rates of intraoperative and postoperative complications, which would have an impact on hospitalization times and surgical success for the management of renal stone.
