To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy in one tertiary hospital in Nepal.
Retrospective study was done for all patients that underwent bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy in our center from January 2010 to December 2017.
After the introduction of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy (URS), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), the subspecialty of endourology was born in the late 1970s. The purpose of this study was to report milestones in Canadian endourology, highlighting Canada's contributions to the field.
To evaluate the long-term tumour recurrence, progression and cancer-specific mortality of patients following holmium laser ablation of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) under topical anaesthesia.
To describe a novel surgical option for cystolithiasis management in female patients with no urethral access and prior abdominal surgeries. We present a 51-year-old female with a history of traumatic spinal cord injury with pelvic fractures and resultant neurogenic bladder.
Objective: To evaluate the role of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the management of 'forgotten' encrusted stents. Patients and Method: This is a retrospective study of 133 patients with forgotten JJ stents, treated between January 2015 and January 2018.
To examine the safety and effectiveness of placing ureteral stents in an office-based setting versus in the operating room.
A retrospective chart review was performed to examine outcomes, specifically complication rate, unanticipated hospitalizations, and stent failures, when patients received JJ stents in the clinic procedure suite, using local analgesia and/or nitrous oxide gas analgesia, compared to patients who had ureteral stents placed in the OR, typically with general anesthesia.
To discover the extent of training in radiological protection (RP) of Spanish urologists who perform endourological procedures, and to analyse the use of on ionising radiation control and protection measures.
To present outcomes of a simplified GreenLight laser enucleation of the prostate (GreenLEP) technique and to inform urologists considering incorporation of enucleation into their practice.
We reviewed all consecutive GreenLEPs by a single surgeon from 2015-2018.
The use of ureteral access sheath (UAS) during ureteroscopy is controversial. We aimed to explore practice patterns of UAS during ureteroscopy for nephrolithiasis among endourologists worldwide.
A 15-question survey was designed using the SurveyMonkey® platform.
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is an emerging endoscopic technique that can provide in vivo histopathologic information. It may improve the diagnostic criteria for benign and neoplastic lesions of the bladder.
