Methods: A total of 723 patients were included in a prospective study between May 1, 2014, and July 31, 2014.

[Mid-term safety and efficacy of high power thulium laser vaporization.].

Objective: Thulium laser vaporization of the prostate (TL-PVP) has been performed for almost 10 years. However, there are very few studies focused on high power (150 W) applications. Published sources have short follow-up periods, few cases and small prostatic volumes.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in the treatment of calyceal diverticulum with lithiasis.

Objectives: To evaluate the result of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) assisted by flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) and Holmium laser in the treatment of lithiasis within calyceal diverticula as a minimally invasive therapeutic option.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 11 cases of symptomatic lithiasis within calyceal diverticula treated between January 2010 and December 2011. We defined treatment success as absence of residual stones and absence/disappearance of symptomatology over the course of follow-up.
