Patients were divided into 2 groups: group A, who underwent one-stage URS and prone PCNL, and group B, who underwent staged procedures.
Purpose: It is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation versus sham for a shortened 6-week protocol of treatment in management of refractory OAB in non-neurogenic adult patients.
Methods: A total of 50 adults with refractory non-neurogenic overactive bladder symptoms were randomized 1:1 to 6 weeks of treatment with weekly percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation or sham therapy. Overactive bladder symptom score as well as 3-day voiding diaries were completed at baseline and at 7th week, 3rd and 6th month.
Background: En-bloc resection of bladder tumors achieves complete tumor removal, improves the quality of resection, decreases perioperative complication, and potentially improves recurrence rates.
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of holmium laser en-bloc resection (HolERBT) versus conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor (cTURBT).
Design, Setting, And Participants: Between September 2015 and September 2018, 100 patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer were randomly allocated to cTURBT or HolERBT.
Objective: To compare transurethral resection in saline (TURIS), Greenlight laser vapo-enucleation of the prostate (GL.PVEP), and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), for controlling lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to assess non-inferiority of 3-year re-treatment rates.
Patients And Methods: Eligible patients with BPH (prostate size 80-150 mL) were randomly assigned to one of the intervention groups.
Objective: To test the non-inferiority of bipolar transurethral vaporization of the prostate (TUVP) compared to GreenLight laser (GL) photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) for reduction of benign prostatic hyperplasia-related lower urinary tract symptoms in a randomized trial.
Methods: Eligible patients with prostate volumes of 30-80 mL were randomly allocated to GL-PVP (n = 58) or bipolar TUVP (n = 61). Non-inferiority of symptom score (International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS]) at 24 months was evaluated.
: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) instillation in the bladder under the effect of low-energy shockwaves (LESWs) for the treatment of refractory idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). : A preliminary clinical study was conducted, including 15 patients with refractory OAB, between September 2016 and July 2017. Intravesical instillation of 100 IU of BoNT-A was done followed by LESWs (3000 shocks over 10 min) exposure to the supra-pubic area.

Methods: The study included consecutive adult patients who underwent PNL for treatment of calculi in a solitary kidney between May 2012 and July 2015. Patients with congenital renal anomalies or with stages 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) were excluded.
Objective: To compare high-power holmium laser lithotripsy (HP-HLL) and ultrasonic lithotripsy (US-L) for disintegration of staghorn stones during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Patients And Methods: A non-inferiority randomised controlled trial was conducted between August 2011 and September 2014. Inclusion criteria were patients' aged >18 years who had complete staghorn stones (branching to the three major calyces), without contraindications to PCNL.
Objective: To compare the efficacy, safety and cost of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for treating a 20-30 mm single renal pelvic stone.
Patients And Methods: The computerised records of patients who underwent PNL or ESWL for a 20-30 mm single renal pelvic stone between January 2006 and December 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients aged <18 years who had a branched stone, advanced hydronephrosis, a solitary kidney, anatomical renal abnormality, or had a surgical intervention within the past 6 months were excluded.
Objective: The aims of this study were to report the diagnosis, treatment and functional consequences of postcaesarean section vesicouterine fistula (VUF), and to investigate the need for hysterectomy.
Material And Methods: The study included 22 cases with VUF after caesarean section (mean age 30.5 years) between 1999 and September 2012.
Objective: To evaluate the long-term functional outcome of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for calculi in solitary kidneys and to determine factors leading to renal function deterioration.

Purpose: To prospectively investigate diagnostic value of routine frozen section analysis (FSA) of urethral margin for male patients undergoing cystectomy for bladder cancer.
Materials And Methods: One hundred consecutive male patients were subjected to radical cystectomy for bladder cancer with routine FSA obtained from distal prostatic urethral margin. Definitive pathological condition of the specimens was reviewed to diagnose urethral±prostatic malignant involvement.
