A multicentric non-randomized prospective observational study on the clinical efficiency of thulium fibre laser in large volume stones (> 1000 mm).

Purpose: Our objective was to analyse the clinical efficiency of TFL in large volume stones during retrograde intrarenal surgery.

Materials And Methods: Patients with large volume renal stones (> 1000 mm) operated at two different centres, from May 2020 to April 2021, were enrolled in this study. Retrograde intrarenal surgery was performed using 60W Superpulse thulium fibre laser™ (IPG Photonics, Russia).

Outcomes of Hem-o-Lok clip migration at vesico-urethral anastomotic site post-robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a single centre experience.

Background: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is the most preferred intervention for the management of prostatic malignancy worldwide. Hem-o-Lok clips (HOLC) are widely used for haemostasis and lateral pedicle ligation. These clips are prone to migrate and lodge at the anastomotic junction as well as inside the bladder causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to bladder neck contracture (BNC) or bladder calculi.

Single-use flexible ureteroscopes: Comparative analysis of four scopes.

Objective: Single-use flexible ureteroscopes (fURSs) have recently been introduced by different companies. Goal of this study was to compare four fURSs.

Methods: We performed analysis of Uscope 7.

Laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation versus robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation for lower ureter pathology: Single-institutional comparative study.

Objective: To compare and analyze the results of laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation and robotic-assisted ureteric reimplantation at our tertiary institute.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of adult patients who underwent laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation and robotic-assisted ureteric reimplantation between January 2000 and December 2020. Data were analyzed for 19 patients in the laparoscopic group and 47 patients in the robotic group.

BPH nomogram using IPSS, prostate volume, peak flow rate, PSA and median lobe protrusion for predicting the need for intervention: development and internal validation.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to develop a nomogram to accurately predict the need for intervention in patients suffering from LUTS due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and internally validate it.

Material And Methods: The data was collected from the community subjects from the state of Gujarat in western India. All the demographic data, physical examination, PSA, uroflowmetry and prostatic ultrasound was collected in 92 subjects and were followed up after 2 years.

Congenital interparietal encephalocele: a case report.

Encephalocele is a mesodermal defect in the skull bones and duramater. Parietal encephalocele is a rare congenital anomaly of newborn with variable prognostic value. The authors report a case of a very large inter parietal encephalocele with no associated other system malformations.
