Filter by:There is a global increase in the prevalence of urolithiasis in children attributed to lifestyle changes, dietary habits, climate changes, childhood obesity, and the wider availability of ultrasonography. The rising incidence of the disease with its recurrent nature emphasizes the need for minimally invasive therapeutic options. Patients in whom RIRS has been performed in the last four years with increasing experience will be presented, and complications, stone-free rates, and technical details will be discussed. This retrospective Cohort study included children who underwent RIRS. Medical history, serum electrolytes, midstream urine culture, urinalysis, serum creatinine, complete blood count, and coagulation assessments were performed preoperatively. Ultrasonography (USG) was performed three months, 6 months, and 1 year after the procedures to evaluate stone recurrence and hydronephrosis. The investigators analyzed the stone-free rate ,complications, and the conversion to open procedure
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.
Aiming to reduce radiation exposure to patients and physicians, the investigators conduct this study protocol to evaluate the possibility of performing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) under direct visualization without fluoroscopy. the investigators will prospectively evaluate the outcome of fluoroscopy-free RIRS for renal stones in comparison with the standard technique. The investigators expected that the fluoroscopy-free technique has high safety and efficacy even in complicated cases.
Aim is to study if 1 week of pre operative tamsulosin would enable easier insertion of ureteral access sheath in primary retrograde intrarenal surgery for renal stone disease
The optimal management of medium-sized renal stones remains quite challenging and continues to be contested. In the present study, the investigators will compare mini-PNL, RIRS and SWL in the treatment of non- lower pole, medium size, high dense renal stones regarding the stone-free rate, the safety of the procedures, cost, and patients' and surgeon's satisfaction. Eligible patients will be randomly allocated into three equal groups (mini-PNL, RIRS, and SWL). Postoperative, patients will be followed-up by regularly for 3 months. The study parameters will be compared between groups.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of music listening during the preoperative and postoperative stages in patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS) on basic life findings, anxiety, pain, and the amount of analgesic used. This is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study was conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The control group received standard care. In contrast, the intervention group, in addition to standard care, was listened to the music by the researchers for 15 minutes one hour before their surgery.
