Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the factors affecting treatment success in patients who underwent Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for ureter stones and to investigate the effect of Storz Medical Lithotripsy Index (SMLI) on treatment effectiveness in ureteric stones.
Method: Prospective data were collected on patients undergoing SWL treatment for ureter stones between January 2013 and May 2021. Stone location, number, and size were determined with Non contrast CT (NCCT) for all patients.

Methods: Prospective data were collected on patients undergoing SWL treatment for kidney stones between January 2013 and May 2021. Stone location, number and size were determined with non-contrast CT (NCCT) for all patients.

Introduction: Hospital readmissions are frequent and costly. In many countries health governors focus on unplanned postsurgical hospital readmissions as an objective metric for quality of care.
Aim: To investigate the rate of readmissions after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operations, classify these factors, define the higher risk patients for readmission and develop prevention strategies.
Background: Lymph node (LN) metastases are associated with poor outcomes for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study compared the survival outcomes of patients with stage III, node-positive disease (pT N M ) and patients with stage III, node-negative disease (pT N M ).
Methods: A database of 4652 patients with RCC of any histological subtype treated with surgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center from 1993 to 2012 was retrospectively assessed.
Objective: To evaluate preoperative and intraoperative predictors of conversion to radical nephrectomy (RN) in a cohort of patients undergoing a planned partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Methods: A single-center, retrospective review was conducted using our PN database that includes patients who were scheduled to undergo PN (regardless of the approach) but were converted to RN between August 1990 and December 2016. Reasons for conversion were collected from the operative report.
Purpose: To evaluate oncologic outcomes and management of patients with microscopic positive surgical margin (PSM) after partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Methods: We reviewed our database to identify patients who underwent PN between 1990 and 2015 for RCC and had PSM on final pathology. A 1:3 matching was performed to a negative surgical margin (NSM) cohort.
Purpose: We studied overall survival and prognostic factors in patients with sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma treated with nephrectomy and systemic therapy in the cytokine and targeted therapy eras.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma who underwent nephrectomy and received systemic therapy at our center in the cytokine era (1987 to 2005) or the targeted therapy era (2006 to 2015). Multivariate regression models were used to determine the association of covariables with survival.
Renal cell carcinoma with osseous metaplasia and bone marrow elements is a relatively rare event in these tumors. We discuss pathological differential diagnosis for this tumor with a review of the literature on this unusual case.
