Outcomes of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomies in children: a single centre experience.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to present to present our experiences with pediatric mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomies (MPNL) in our center.

Material And Methods: A total of 85 MPNLs performed on 79 pediatric patients being treated for upper urinary tract stones from 2007 to 2017 were analyzed retrospectively in order to determine their safety, efficacy, and relevant outcomes.

Results: 85 MPNLs performed on 79 patients with a mean age of 6.

Treatment of fragmented and severely encrusted ureteral double-J stent forgotten for 11 years through multimodal endourological methods.

Ureteral catheters are frequently used in urology clinics for intrinsic or extrinsic pathologies which cause ureteral obstruction to provide urinary drainage from the kidney to the bladder. With the increase in stent use, an increase is observed in complications occurring due to ureteral stents in direct proportion with this increase, and ureteral double-J (DJ) stents forgotten in the urinary system are observed commonly in urological cases when the patients do not refer to a health institution in this condition and may cause severe problems, such as infection, stent fragmentation, migration, kidney failure, encrustation, and hydronephrosis conditions. A 30-year-old male patient referred to our clinic with right-side pain, dysuria, and incontinence complaints.

Fracture With Urethral Injury: Evaluation by Retrograde Urethrogram.

Penile fracture is a rare condition. It primarily involves the rupture of the corpus cavernosum during erection, which may also affect the corpus spongiosum and urethra. We describe the case of a 35-year-old man who presented with acute penile pain, penile swelling, and a hematuria after a blunt trauma during sexual intercourse.

A prospective randomized comparison of micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (Microperc) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the management of lower pole kidney stones.

Objective: To make a comparison between the safety and efficacy of micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (microperc) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the management of lower pole kidney stones up to 15 mm.

Patients And Methods: 60 patients presenting with solitary lower pole kidney stones up to 15 mm were included in the study between March 2013 and December 2015. Patients were randomized into Microperc or RIRS groups with computer-generated numbers.

Polyorchidism; unilateral, one atrophic undescended double testicles.

Polyorchidism is a very rare genitourinary anomaly defined with the presence of more than two testicles. Polyorchidism is associated up to 40% with undescended testicles. The present report is about an incidentally detected triorchidism case with unilateral, one atrophic undescended double testicles.

Complete treatment with partial cystectomy in giant xanthogranulomatous cystitis case imitating bladder tumor.

Xanthogranulomatous cystitis (XC) is a very rare chronic benign inflammatory disease of the bladder. It may cause local invasion although it is not a malign lesion and may occur together with malign lesions. It has a clinical importance as the distinction from malign lesions is difficult clinically and pathologically.

Comparison of absorbed irrigation fluid volumes during retrograde intrarenal surgery and percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the treatment of kidney stones larger than 2 cm.

Purpose: Irrigation-induced increase in intrarenal pressure is of concern because it may cause infection due to increased pyelovenous and pyelolymphatic absorption. This study is the first to compare prospectively the absorbed fluid volumes during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for stones larger than 2 cm.

Materials And Methods: General anesthesia was applied to all patients.

Urinary kidney injury molecule-1 levels in renal stone patients.

Objective: To study kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) biomarker levels, indicating renal tubular damage, in patients with kidney stones and in those who underwent minimally invasive method stone treatment.

Patients And Methods: Sixty patients with renal stones between 10 and 20 mm were included into the present study. Patients who were divided into three cohorts underwent micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (microperc), retrograde intrarenal stone surgery (RIRS), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).

Midline Prostatic Cyst Marsupialization Using Holmium Laser.

Many of the prostatic cysts are asymptomatic and only 5% are symptomatic (Hamper et al., 1990; Higashi et al., 1990).

Incidence of retrorenal colon during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate retrorenal colon incidence in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) interventions made in our clinic.

Materials And Methods: Clinical data of 804 PNL patients, accumulated over a 7 year period (2006-2012), was surveyed. The patient files were reviewed retrospectively, and only those who had abdominal computed tomography (CT) images before PNL intervention were included in the study.

Contemporary Management of Medium-Sized (10-20 mm) Renal Stones: A Retrospective Multicenter Observational Study.

Purpose: To evaluate contemporary management approaches to medium-sized (10-20 mm) renal stones.

Patients And Methods: A total of 935 patients treated for medium-sized renal stones (10-20 mm) between July 2012 and March 2014 were included in the study program. Contemporary minimally invasive approaches applied in the management of such stones were evaluated and compared.
