Management of an Intraparenchymal Struvite Stone Using Laparoscopic Nephrolithotomy: A Case Report.

This study aims to present a case of laparoscopic nephrolithotomy and highlight its successful outcome. The patient was a 65-year-old male who experienced intermittent colicky flank pain. Imaging revealed the presence of a 20-mm round-shaped stone in a hydronephrotic calyx located in the mid-pole of the left kidney, possibly with a parenchymal component.

Comparison of Perioperative Outcomes of Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate for Standard (≤149 ml) Versus Very Large (≥150 ml) Prostate Glands: Retrospective Analysis of a Propensity Score Matched Cohort of 326 Patients.

Background And Objective: Our objective was to evaluate whether a very large prostate volume significantly affects the incidence of perioperative complications and compromises outcomes among patients undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data for 1815 adult patients who underwent HoLEP at Evangelisches Krankenhaus Königin Elisabeth Herzberge, Berlin, between January 2019 and May 2024. Patients were divided into two groups according to their prostate volume: ≤149 ml (group A) and ≥150 ml (group B).
