Objective: To investigate preoperative predictors for selecting different surgical approaches in patients with renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus (RCC-IVCTT), and to establish and validate corresponding predictive models.
Methods: Clinical data of 583 RCC-IVCTT patients were retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 465 cases were used to construct predictive models, and 118 cases were used for validation.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of two holmium laser techniques—conventional (basketing + dusting) versus Moses (pop-dusting)—in treating 2-3 cm kidney stones in 230 patients who underwent flexible ureteroscopy.
- Both methods resulted in similar stone-free rates and complications, but the Moses technique used significantly higher laser energy and reduced operation time compared to the conventional method.
- The study concluded that while both laser modes are effective for treating renal calculi, the Moses mode is preferred for isolated stones, whereas both methods have similar efficiency when treating multiple stones.
