Purpose: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with renal artery pseudoaneurysms (RAPs) to document their clinical presentation, surgical background, and outcome.
Materials And Methods: In all, 7 of the 1965 patients who underwent percutaneous stone surgery and 3 of the 25 patients who underwent laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery had a diagnosis of RAP and were treated accordingly. The most common symptom was hematuria, which was classified as early or delayed according to the time of presentation, as mild, moderate, or severe according to the hemodynamics of the patient.
Objectives: To compare the stone-free rate and complications between horseshoe and normal kidneys.
Methods: Between December 1997 and June 2008, a total of 2401 patients with 2618 renal units underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). During this period, we retrospectively reviewed the data of 46 patients with 50 (1.
Objective: We report our experience with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) therapy for staghorn or complex pediatric renal calculi.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the case records of 105 patients younger than 17 years who underwent PNL. The cases included 53 complex calculi analyzed in 51 patients.
Background And Purpose: We investigated the impact of percutaneous renal procedures on estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Patients And Methods: The GFRs of adult patients were calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula, and the patients were staged according to the Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative CKD classification system. The study included 185 patients with preoperative GFR values less than 60 mL/min/1.
