Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery in the prone split-leg position versus Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position for the management of partial staghorn calculi.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the outcome of ECIRS in the treatment of partial staghorn renal calculi in both prone split-leg positions versus GMSV positions with regard to; technical aspects, success rate, operative time, complications, safety, and effectiveness of both approaches.

Patients And Methods: Between October 2018 and August 2021, 66 patients with partial staghorn calculi were enrolled in this prospective comparative study. Patients were randomly divided according to a 1:1 ratio into two groups.

Extravesical Common Sheath Ureteral Reimplantation Versus Intravesical Techniques for Refluxing Duplex Systems in Children.

Purpose: Retrospective comparative study of the efficacy of extravesical non-dismembered common sheath ureteral reimplantation (ECSR) versus intravesical common sheath ureteral reimplantation (ICSR) techniques for the correction of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in complete duplex systems.

Material And Methods: Between 2010 and 2019, ECSR was performed in 38 children (8 bilaterally), and the mean ages at presentation and at surgery were 31 and 57 months, respectively. The ICSR technique was performed in 25 units (25 patients).

Efficacy of an enuresis alarm, desmopressin, and combination therapy in the treatment of saudi children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis.

Purpose: We evaluated and compared the effectiveness of an enuresis alarm, desmopressin medication, and their combination in the treatment of Saudi children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE).

Materials And Methods: A total of 136 children with PMNE were randomly assigned to receive an enuresis alarm alone (EA group, n=45), desmopressin alone (D group, n=46), or a combination of both (EA/D group, n=45). Patients were followed weekly during treatment and for 12 weeks after treatment withdrawal.

Subsequent prostate cancer detection in patients with prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia or atypical small acinar proliferation.

Introduction: To evaluate the predictors of prostate cancer in follow-up of patients diagnosed on initial biopsy with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) or atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP).

Methods: We studied 201 patients with HGPIN and 22 patients with ASAP on initial prostatic biopsy who had subsequent prostatic biopsies. The mean time of follow-up was 17.

Recoverability of renal function after treatment of adult patients with unilateral obstructive uropathy and normal contralateral kidney: a prospective study.

Objectives: To study the methods of prediction of recoverability of renal function after the treatment of adult patients with unilateral obstructive uropathy and a normal contralateral kidney.

Methods: This prospective study included 91 consecutive adult patients with the diagnosis of unilateral obstructive uropathy and a normal contralateral kidney. All patients had a nonequivocal cause of obstruction that was successfully relieved after treatment.
