Urgent ureterorenoscopy as a primary treatment for ureteral stone: why not?

To evaluate the feasibility of urgent ureteroscopy (uURS) and elective ureteroscopy (eURS) in the management of patients with renal colic due to ureteral stones. Patients who were operated for ureteral stones between September 2020 and March 2022 were determined retrospectively. The patients who were operated within the first 24 h constituted the uURS group, while the patients who were operated after 24 h were classified as eURS.

The severity of renal colic pain: Can it be predicted?

Introduction: We aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between the perception of renal colic pain and different psychosocial and physiological factors.

Methods: Between May 2021 and July 2022, we prospectively analyzed 320 patients over the age of 18 who were diagnosed with renal colic occurring unilaterally and secondary to a single kidney stone of any size. Body mass index (BMI), education level, hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), somatosensory amplification scale (SAS), and the visual analog scale (VAS) features of stone (diameter, Hounsfield value, and localization) and degree of hydronephrosis were analyzed.

Factors predicting duration and success of semirigid ureteroscopy for ureteral stones in different localizations.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the factors predicting the duration and successof semirigid ureteroscopy performed for the treatment of ureteral stones in different localizations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records of the patients whom under went semirigid ureteroscopy for urolithiasis in our centre between January 2015 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The study group composed of 170 patients and divided into three subgroups; of which 54 in proximal ureter (31.

Die präoperative Anwendung von Dutasterid hat keine Auswirkung auf intraoperative Blutungen bei transvesikaler offener einfacher Prostatektomie zur Behandlung der benignen Prostatahyperplasie.

Objective: There are a few studies in the literature investigating the effect of preoperative dutasteride use on bleeding in open simple prostatectomy. We aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative dutasteride use on perioperative bleeding during open simple prostatectomy.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of all patients who underwent transvesical open prostatectomy due to benign prostatic hyperplasia in our institution between 2008 and 2018.
