Renal transplant nephrolithiasis: Presentation, management and follow-up with control comparisons.

Objectives: To analyse the presentation, management and long-term outcomes of renal transplant patients who formed kidney stones in their allograft. The secondary aim was to identify risk factors for stone formation in this cohort.

Materials And Methods: Patient information from an institutional renal transplant database was used to identify individuals who both did and did not form kidney stones following renal transplantation.

Bladder Stones in Renal Transplant Patients: Presentation, Management, and Follow-up.

Introduction: The study aim was to analyze the presentation, management, and follow-up of renal transplant patients developing bladder calculi.

Methods: Patients who underwent renal transplant with postoperative follow-up at our institution were retrospectively analyzed (1984-2023) to assess for the development of posttransplant bladder stones. All bladder stones were identified by computerized tomography imaging and stone size was measured using this imaging modality.

Risk factors for infection and acute urinary retention following transperineal prostate biopsy.

Purpose: To calculate the frequency of infection and acute urinary retention (AUR) following transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy at a single high-volume academic institution and determine risk factors for developing these post-biopsy conditions.

Methods: Men undergoing TP prostate biopsy from 2012 to 2022 at our institution were retrospectively identified and chart reviewed. TP biopsies were performed with TR ultrasound (TRUS) guidance with anesthesia using a brachytherapy grid template.

Less is more: single dose versus extended antibiotic prophylaxis for transperineal prostate biopsy.

Introduction: There is an ongoing debate as to the appropriate regimen of antibiotic prophylaxis with transperineal (TP) biopsy. The objective of this study was to report the rate of infection following TP biopsy at a high-volume institution and assess the impact of single dose antibiotics at the time of biopsy versus outpatient antibiotics in preventing postprocedural infections.

Materials And Methods: Records of men undergoing TP prostate biopsy from 2012 to 2022 were reviewed.

Postsurgery Opiate Use Is Significantly Lower in Patients With Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome Following Cystectomy With Urinary Diversion.

Objective: To compare pre-and post-operative opiate use in a large cohort of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) patients who underwent cystectomy with urinary diversion (CWUD).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was completed using a database of IC/BPS patients who underwent CWUD at a single institution from 2014 to 2022. In addition to demographic information, bladder capacity and Hunner lesion status were documented for each patient.
