[UROLOGICAL CONSULT FOR PATIENT WITH RENAL COLIC BEFORE DISCHARGE FROM THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED): THE OUTCOME EFFECT ON SPONTANEOUS STONE EXPULSION AND RE-VISIT TO ED].

Introduction: Renal colic due to ureterolithiasis is a frequent reason for visiting the emergency departments (ED). The majority of those patients are managed non-surgically and will experience a spontaneous stone expulsion. The ED at our hospital works as a unified department, which is a well-established practice in Europe and North America.

Spontaneous stone expulsion in patients with history of urolithiasis.

Objectives: To examine differences in the presentation, management, and outcomes of patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with ureteral stones, with prior history of urolithiasis compared to patients with a first stone event.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients who visited the ED that were found to have a ureteral stone on CT. Patients were stratified into two groups: without history of urolithiasis (Group 1) and with history of urolithiasis (Group 2).

Effect of age on presentation and outcome in renal colic.

Objectives: To examine the age-related differences in the presentation, management, and outcomes of patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with ureteral stones.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients who visited the ED at a single institution that were found to have a ureteral stone on CT. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging parameters were collected, including outcomes.
