Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery for Stone Formation After Previous Laparoscopic and Open Renal Surgery.

Nonabsorbable sutures used during renal surgery represent a known substratum for stone growth. We hereby describe two cases of nephrolithiasis secondary to permanent suture material, originally placed during conservative renal surgical procedures and afterward migrated into the caliceal system, managed with endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) with subsequent complete renal clearance. .

Evaluation of Surgical Site Infection in Mini-invasive Urological Surgery.

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is the most frequent source of infection in surgical patients and the second most frequent cause of hospital-acquired infection. The primary aim of this prospective study was to compare SSI occurrences between minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and open urological surgery. Secondly, perioperative outcomes were evaluated in two different approaches.

Pain killers and antibacterial therapy for kidney colic and stones.

In 85% of patients, renal colic is caused by renal-ureteral stones with extrinsic obstructions such as pelvic, retroperitoneal or intestinal abnormalities, and intrinsic reno-ureteral obstructions, e.g. junction pathologies and malformation, accounting for only 10 and 5%, respectively.
