Filter by:This study is a double blinded randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of tranexamic acid use on the transfusion rate in patients with complex kidney stones undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
The incidence of nephrolithiasis in children has been reported to increase by approximately 6-10% annually, and the incidence is currently 50 per 100,000 children with high recurrent rate. Investigators aimed to determine the metabolic risk factors in Chinese children through metabolic evaluation. In order to identify diagnostic criteria of hypocitraturia and hyperoxaluria in western country wether adapt to Chinese children, investigators aim to determine normal urine levels of oxalate and citrate in children without kidney stone.
Randomized control trial to compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrostomy with retrograde ureteric stenting for emergency renal decompression in cases of obstruction and sepsis associated with ureteric calculi.
Endoscopic bile duct stone (BDS) removal is a well-established treatment; however, the preference for basket or balloon catheters for extraction is operator-dependent It is reported that complete endoscopic treatment with a single catheter is more likely when choosing a balloon catheter over a basket catheter for extraction of BDSs≤10mm. However, a study comparing the two catheter types in patients with periampullary diverticulum has not been performed, and there is no strong basis on which to recommend the balloon catheter as a first-line stone removal device. The investigators therefore conducted a multicenter prospective randomized trial to compare catheter performance in patients with periampullary diverticulum.
The treatment of renal calculus by retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS) isn't able to eliminate stone completely
The investigators objective is to determine if urinary electrolyte abnormalities exist in only one or both kidneys in participants with and without a history of kidney stones. To meet this objective, the investigators are going to take urine samples from each kidney at the time of kidney stone surgery. The samples will then be analyzed for absolute and relative differences in the concentrations of urine electrolytes, such as calcium.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the magnetic compressive anastomosis has a better outcomes than traditional manual anastomosis on superior bilioenteric anastomosis.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a well-established treatment modality for renal stones. It offers a high stone free rates and less invasive than open surgery. Nevertheless PCNL is an invasive and technically demanding procedure with inherent risks and complications. The most troublesome morbidities are bleeding and injury to the kidney and its adjacent structures. Complications of PCNL tend to be associated with the accuracy of tract placement and the size of the nephrostomy tract. To improve the safety of PCNL, there is a trend toward using smaller and smaller nephrostomy tracts . With the smaller nephrostomy tract, there also arise the problems of compromised visual field and increased difficulty in stone extraction. Increase irrigation using pressure pump might improve the visualization and the passive egress of the stone fragments, but it also may concomitantly increase the intra-luminal pressure. The present system of Super-Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) was developed to address many of these deficiencies. The basic components of SMP system are an 8.0 F miniaturized nephroscope with a newly designed irrigation-suction sheath with enhanced irrigation capability and modified nephrostomy sheath with continuous negative pressure aspiration. Its design was intended not only to prevent the excessive intrarenal pressure but also improve the visualization and the stone fragments extraction. Little was known about renal pelvic pressure in vivo during SMP and about any correlation it might have had with postoperative fever and urosepsis. We measure the renal pelvic pressure during SMP to determine whether it will improve the renal pelvic pressure and improve the incidence of postoperative fever.
Examine the effect of nutritional vitamin D repletion on urinary calcium excretion and kidney stone burden in calcium kidney stone formers
The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-calculus effect of dentrifice containing 5% sodium pyrophosphate and potassium pyrophosphate in a triple-mask placebo controlled randomized clinical trial.
