Case Report: Mini-endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery in an en-bloc kidney transplant.

Background: Overall incidence of stones in kidney transplant recipients is 1%. En-bloc kidney transplant is a rare anatomical condition in which kidney stones treatment can be extremely difficult to treat. As far as we know, no cases of staghorn calculi in en-bloc kidney transplant have been published so far.

Pharmacological interventions for treating chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: a Cochrane systematic review.

Objective: To assess the effects of pharmacological therapies for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).

Patients And Methods: We performed a comprehensive search using multiple databases, trial registries, grey literature and conference proceedings with no restrictions on the language of publication or publication status. The date of the latest search of all databases was July 2019.

Pharmacological interventions for treating chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Background: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common disorder in which the two main clinical features are pelvic pain and lower urinary tract symptoms. There are currently many approaches for its management, using both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. The National Institute of Health - Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) score is a validated measure commonly used to measure CP/CPPS symptoms.

Pyelocaliceal Distribution of Kidney Stones Used as an Outcome Predictor in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy After Being Evaluated with Preoperative and Postoperative CT Scan.

Objective: To identify kidney stone characteristics that will determine either success or failure of a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and design a classification system to predict results according to these characteristics.

Materials And Methods: One hundred thirty-eight patients were assessed with multislice abdominal and pelvic CT before and after PCNL. With regard to pyelocaliceal stone distribution, we classified our patients in two groups that we called "no extra stone in middle calix" (NESMC) and "extra stone in middle calix" (ESMC), according to the difficulty in reaching the stones.
