Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of scoliosis surgery in adolescents with the lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) set at either L3 or L4, focusing on clinical and radiological results.
- A total of 36 patients were divided into two groups (L3: 21 patients, L4: 15 patients) and analyzed over a follow-up period of at least 24 months, comparing pre- and post-operative metrics, including Cobb angles and SRS-22 questionnaire scores.
- While the L4 group presented with a greater Cobb angle preoperatively, both groups had similar outcomes in subsequent measurements, but the L3 group reported significantly better quality of life scores in specific areas such
Objective: To assess and compare the applicability of the Resorlu-Unsal Stone Score (RUSS) and the Modified Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity (S-ReSC) score for flexible ureterorenoscopy (f-URS).
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the hospital files of 719 patients who had been treated with f-URS for kidney stone at two referral centers between July 2012 and December 2015. The RUSS and Modified S-ReSC scores were calculated by the same surgeon for each patient by using imaging methods and were compared as to their predictive capability for postoperative success.
