Article Synopsis
- Laser lithotripsy can break down cystine stones, potentially producing toxic gas byproducts, specifically during the use of thulium fiber laser (TFL) but this has not been thoroughly studied.
- * An in vitro study was conducted to analyze the gases released when cystine stones were fragmented with TFL, revealing that gas formation only occurred with cystine stones, producing gases like sulfur and hydrogen sulfide.
- * Analysis of the remaining stone fragments showed they contained various chemical elements, pointing to a risk of toxic gas emissions that could affect patients and operating room staff during procedures.
This study aimed to evaluate the cyberchondria levels of patients who applied to the urology outpatient clinic. The second goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between cyberchondria severity and health anxiety in these patients. The present prospective observational study was conducted at the urology outpatient clinic of two tertiary centers in our city between September and December 2021.

Also, the secondary aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting the stone-free rates (SFRs) of RIRS.
Methods: We retrospectively compared perioperative results, SFRs, and complication rates (CRs) between pediatric (group 1, n: 55) and adult (group 2, n: 220) age groups diagnosed with kidney stones and treated by flexible ureterorenoscopy using the same instruments.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral cystolithotripsy (TUC) and percutaneous cystolithotripsy (PCC) in prepubertal patients with 10-20 mm bladder stones. The files of patients aged 12 years and under who were admitted to our clinic for bladder stones from January 2007 to January 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Inclusion criteria were patients who were 12 years of age and under with 10-20 mm bladder stones, and who underwent endoscopic surgery (TUC or PCC).
