Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is associated with structural and morphological changes including elongation of prostatic urethral length. The aim of our study was to assess whether prostatic urethral length could predict need of surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over a 12-months duration.
Background: Proximal ureteric stones are considered one of challenging location for lithotripsy using semirigid ureteroscopes. Aim of the study was to assess clinical and radiological characteristics associated with outcome of lithotripsy using semirigid ureteroscope for proximal ureteric stones.
Methods: Prospective observational study was done on patients who underwent semirigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy for proximal ureteric stone.
Background: The aim of the study is the compare efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in supine and prone positions. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is conventionally performed in prone position but in recent years numbers of supine percutaneous nephrolithotomies is increasing globally.
Methods: The hospital based cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Urology, Bir Hospital from July 2018 to January 2020.
Outcomes of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Patients with Previous Ipsilateral Open Renal Stone Surgery.

Background: Nephrolithiais is a recurrent disease. Recent advances have enabled stone surgeries to be performed by minimal invasive techniques; but still a large number of patients present with history of ipsilateral open renal stone surgery. Previous scar to the kidney and overlying muscles are fraught with possibility of increased complications.

Post-operative imaging after stone surgeries has not been uniform. This study was done to study about the stone clearance by computed tomography after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Methods: A prospective randomized comparative study was performed in Department of Urology, Bir Hospital for 1-year duration with 61 patients in shockpulse (Group 1) and 58 patients in pneumatic lithoclast (Group 2) groups, respectively. Patient's demographics, stone characteristics, hemoglobin drop, hospital stay, operative duration, stone fragmentation time and postoperative complications were compared.
Background: Urinary stone disease has high prevalence in our belt. The end stage complication of this disease turns out to be a non-functioning kidney, which in fact could be prevented by means of appropriate treatment and follow up.
Methods: This is retrospective study of the nephrectomy cases of last 8 years retrieved from the hospital database.
Risk Factors for Postoperative Complications after Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.
J Nepal Health Res Counc
March 2018
Background: To identify the perioperative factors associated with complications after percutaneous nephrolithotomy by classification of complications according to the modified Clavien scoring system and evaluation of the minor and major complications related to the procedure.
Methods: A prospective study of all the percutaneous nephrolithotomy performed by standard technique within 1.5 years at Bir Hospital was made.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of tamsulosin and tadalafil as medical expulsive therapy for distal ureteral stones.
Materials And Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted at the Department of Urology of Bir Hospital over a period of 12 months in patients with distal ureteral stones sized 5 to 10 mm. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A received tamsulosin 0.
