Objective: To evaluate medical treatments, in terms of adverse events (AEs) and therapeutic goals, in a large series of patients with cystinuria.
Patients And Methods: Data from 442 patients with cystinuria were recorded retrospectively. Crystalluria was studied in 89 patients.
Background And Objectives: Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting renal cystine reabsorption; it causes 1% and 8% of stones in adults and children, respectively. This study aimed to determine epidemiologic and clinical characteristics as well as comorbidities among cystinuric patients, focusing on CKD and high BP.
Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: This retrospective study was conducted in France, and involved 47 adult and pediatric nephrology and urology centers from April 2010 to January 2012.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and morbidity of BPH treatment by radiofrequency in the general population and attempt to identify factors of prognostic value for this technique.
Methods: This retrospective study examined 76 consecutive patients of mean age 68.9 years with symptomatic BPH in failure of medical treatment and treated at University Hospital of Caen between April 2004 and October 2008.
Aim: To assess the feasibility of ambulatory surgery in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia using radio frequency (TUNA) and evaluate its place in terms of efficiency among other minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Method: Fifty-four patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia and for whom medical treatment was ineffective, were treated with radio frequency between September 2004 and June 2007. Among them, 28 patients, whose average age was 65.
