Filter by:Several studies evaluated the benefit of a short-term external ureteral catheter (UC) compared to double-J (DJ) ureteral stent after flexible ureteroscopy (URS); the results were controversial. These studies had combined analyses of ureteral and renal stones with a high risk of selection bias. Studies comparing external UC and DJ stent after flexible URS for isolated renal stones are lacking. In the present study, the investigators will compare the outcomes of using a one-day external UC versus a DJ internal ureteral stent for ureteral drainage after retrograde flexible URS (retrograde intrarenal surgery "RIRS") for renal stones. The investigators aim to identify the best ureteral drainage method after RIRS regarding stone clearance, complications, and stent-related symptoms.
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 goal of this clinical trial is to test the Break Wave™ system in patients with upper urinary tract stones. The main question it aims to answer is whether the device is safe and effective in fragmenting (breaking) stones. Participants will a) undergo the Break Wave™ procedure, b) have a telehealth visit at 2 weeks, and c) return for an imaging study at approximately 10 weeks post-procedure.
This research study is to determine how well the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) works for kidney stone pain and any possible side effects.
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of both types of lasers, Holmium MOSES and TFL, in management of kidney stones requiring treatment.
This is a prospective controlled study to compare the efficacy and safety of two methods of flexible urethroscopy in patients with urolithiasis, as well as the effect of surgery on quality of life.
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.
The aim of this study is to compare the anesthesia methods in percutaneous nephrolithotomy in terms of safety and effectiveness in elderly men.
To define the effect of crystal light, potassium citrate, or both on urinary stone risk factors in patients with a history of stone and hypocitraturia/low pH
perform a comparative randomized trial comparing the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the prone and modified supine positions in management of complex renal stones
