Can bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate be a better alternative to the bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate?: A prospective comparative study.

To analyze the efficacy and safety between bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate (BipoLEP) and bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP).One hundred twenty eight patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were recruited and divided into group 1 (BipoLEP group, n = 72) and group 2 (B-TURP group, n = 56). The study period was from October 2016 to February 2019.

Surgical complications of open nephrectomy in living related donors in Yemen: a prospective study.

Objective: Renal transplantation from living related donor is the best treatment option for chronic renal failure with experience for more than 50 years. However, this procedure may expose the health and even the life of otherwise normal individuals to risk. In this prospective study we described the surgical complications of open donor nephrectomies by Clavien grading system.

Jejunal Injury as a Rare Complication of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Case Report.

Colonic injury represents a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Injury of the small bowel is very rare, with only anecdotal case reports in the literature. We report here a rare PCNL complication of jejunal perforation without concomitant colonic injury.

A correlation study between macro- and micro-analysis of pediatric urinary calculi.

Objective: The aim was investigate the relationship between macro- and micro-compositions of pediatric urinary stones by using two combined analytical techniques: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).

Materials And Methods: A total of 74 consecutive urinary calculi were collected from children. Each stone was divided into two equal portions.

Tubeless percutaneous neprolithotomy: the new gold standard.

Purpose: We present our experience with tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).

Patients And Methods: Between July 2004 and December 2006, 121 patients (82 males and 39 females) with 18-70 mm (mean 31.19 mm) renal stones underwent tubeless PCNL leaving only a 6 Fr externalized ureteric catheter.

Simultaneous bilateral multipuncture tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patient with orthotopic bladder substitution.

We report the successful treatment of a patient that presented with bladder tumor, bilateral multiple renal stones, right lower ureteral stone, and bilateral hydroureteronephrosis with progressively rising serum creatinine. Initially, he was managed by drainage of the upper tract by left percutaneous nephrostomy tube until serum creatinine dropped to normal value then he was managed by radical cystectomy and orthotopic bladder substitution. Three weeks later, he was subjected to simultaneous bilateral multi-puncture tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Treatment of complete staghorn stones: a prospective randomized comparison of open surgery versus percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Purpose: We studied the role of open surgery versus percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the treatment of complete staghorn stones in a prospective randomized manner.

Materials And Methods: A total of 79 patients with 88 complete staghorn stones, defined as filling the entire collecting system or at least 80% of it, were prospectively randomized for PCNL (43) or open surgery (45). Intraoperative and postoperative morbidity, operative time, hospital stay, and stone clearance at discharge home and followup were compared for both methods.
