Filter by:The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of the two long-acting thiazide-like diuretics indapamide and chlorthalidone in reducing urine supersaturation for calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate compared to the short-acting thiazide diuretic hydrochlorothiazide for the prevention of calcium-containing kidney stones.
In view of the positive results of the numerous studies conducted on forced diuresis after extra-corporeal lithotripsy, the investigators chose to evaluate forced diuresis by injection of Furosemide associated with intravenous hydration, which has never before been the subject of a specific analysis.
This is an observational, international, multicenter, cohort study, prospectively collecting clinical data registry on consecutive patients with urinary stone undergoing ECIRS.
To predict the outcome of flexible ureteroscopy in the management of renal stones based on preoperative scoring module using five preoperative parameters that have effect on stone free status postoperatively.
Urolithiasis is a frequent pathology, for which flexible ureteroscopy with endocorporeal laser lithotripsy has become the most frequently used surgical treatment. This procedure is limited to 90 minutes and will depend mainly on the total lithiasis volume. Knowing the duration of lithotripsy before the operation would allow to foresee situations of iterative procedures and to improve the patient's path (ambulatory or conventional surgery, work stoppage, optimization of operating times and operating room occupation times). "Kidney Stone Calculator" is a free tool capable of providing a calculi volumetry and predicting the duration of endocorporeal laser lithotripsy. The main objective of this study would be to evaluate the performance of the Kidney Stone Calculator in estimating the duration of laser lithotripsy during flexible ureteroscopy for renal calculi, by analyzing the agreement between the estimated and actual lithotripsy durations, evaluated by an intraclass correlation coefficient and its 95% confidence interval Eligible patients will be those scheduled for flexible ureteroscopy for renal calculi described on a non-injected abdominopelvic scan. A total of 240 patients over a 15-month inclusion period is planned, with a follow-up time of 3 months.
The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of Microbial Transplant Therapy (MTT) on 24-hour urine parameters in recurrent hypercalciuric and hyperoxaluric kidney stone formers.
Background of the project: The surgical treatment of parapelvic cysts is currently less researched and there is no gold standard for surgery. Previously, in percutaneous nephrolithotomy, we found that fenestration and fenestration drainage in the simultaneous treatment of pararenal pelvis cysts under nephroscopic nephroscopic surgery has clear curative effect, less trauma, and quicker recovery. Objective: To clarify the safety, efficacy and long-term efficacy of percutaneous nephroscopy in the treatment of parapelvic cysts. Nature: Retrospective case cohort study. Basic research process: Retrospective collection of cases in our hospital who underwent percutaneous nephroscopy for the treatment of parapelvic cysts, and comparison of preoperative and postoperative cyst size changes and long-term efficacy.
Current prevention strategies in patients with recurrence of kidney stones show especially in high-risk patients a diversely and in the long-term not successful outcome in a sustainable number of cases. Recent studies have revealed that Dapagliflozin has the potential to decrease risk and incidence of urolithiasis events especially in patients suffering from Diabetes. The investigators propose that Dapagliflozin has the potential to increase the metabolic situation of hyperoxaluric patients with recurrence of urolithiasis. The investigators therefore test whether Dapagliflozin can decrease the oxalate excretion compared to the current strategy with Hydrochlorothiazide. The study may open up a new way of preventing urolithiasis in patients with high-risk of recurring urolithiasis.
The urotheliasis is a common problem encountered daily by all urologists worldwide with rates up to 13% in North America, 9% in Europe and 5% in Asia . The urotheliasis is treated by conservation, medical treatment and surgery according to many factors . Anomalies in the kidney happens due to failure in ascending , fusion, rotation or all together, horse-shoe kidney is the most common example , found in one of 400 patients . PCNL and URS are the golden standard method for stone extraction worldwide, since their introduction 1975 by Fernstrom and Johansson & Arthur Smith respectively in normal kidney .Since the development of the endourological procedures and instrument , continuous updates and upgrades have been applied ,such as enhancing the optical systems ,reducing the diameter, navigation (deflection angles) and stone fragmentation .Stone treatment in anomalous kidney is more demanding, requires more skills and training . The flexible ureterorenoscopy has some problems first the cost but this problem is being now solved by the use of disposable scopes , second the skills it requires , third the possibility of sepsis is higher . To our knowledge most of the studies in the literature are retrospective, carrying some weakness in them. There is no agreed-upon therapeutic method for treatment of stones in anomalous kidney so the investigators will evaluate the role of F-URS in a prospective study.
In this prospective randomized controlled study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of guidewire advanced through a previously placed double j stent on postoperative complications, operation time and efficacy.
