Does ureteral access sheath affect the outcomes of retrograde intrarenal surgery: a prospective study.

Objectives: To evaluate whether or not using a ureteral access sheath (UAS) affects the perioperative outcomes after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) performed in patients with renal stones.

Material And Methods: An observational study was carried out using data of 60 patients who underwent RIRS with the diagnosis of renal stones <2 cm between February 2017 and November 2017 at our institution. The data of the 60 patients were registered prospectively during the study period.

Comparison of scoring systems for predicting stone-free status and complications after retrograde ıntrarenal surgery.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of scoring systems in predicting stone-free rates (SFR) and complications following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 280 patients who underwent RIRS for kidney stones between 2016 and 2019. The Resorlu-Unsal Stone score (RUSS), Modified Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity (S-ReSC) score, and R.

Comparison of Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery and Micro-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Moderately Sized Pediatric Kidney Stones.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and reliability of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (micro-perc) for the management of kidney stones in pediatric patients.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of pediatric patients aged <18 years with kidney stones that ranged from 10 to 20 mm in size, who underwent RIRS (n = 36) or micro-perc (n = 45) in referral centers.

Results: In the RIRS group, the mean age of patients was 8.

Predictive Factors for Spontaneous Stone Passage and the Potential Role of Serum C-Reactive Protein in Patients with 4 to 10 mm Distal Ureteral Stones: A Prospective Clinical Study.

Purpose: We investigated possible predictive factors for spontaneous stone passage and the potential role of serum C-reactive protein and white blood count in patients with 4 to 10 mm distal ureteral stones.

Materials And Methods: A total of 251 patients who presented with renal colic secondary to distal ureteral stone were included in study. Patients were grouped according to spontaneous stone passage.

Is routine ureteral stenting really necessary after retrograde intrarenal surgery?

Objectives: To investigate the situations in which ureteral double-J stent should be used after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

Patients And Methods: Patients with no ureteral double-J stent after RIRS constituted Group 1, and those with double- J stent after RIRS constituted Group 2. Patients' age and gender, renal stone characteristics (location and dimension), stone-free status, VAS score 8 hours after surgery, post-procedural renal colic attacks, length of hospitalization, requirement for re-hospitalization, time to rehospitalization and secondary procedure requirements were analyzed.

The Time of Spontaneous Resolution of Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis (MNE) Is Familial.

Purpose: To investigate whether or not the age of spontaneous resolution of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) was familial.

Patients And Methods: A questionnaire was administered to more than 1,500 people, and 100 appropriate participants were identified from four referral hospitals. We included the participants who had MNE and whose parents also had MNE with spontaneous resolution.
