How to Deal With Hemophilia C in Endoscopic Urologic Surgery: Lessons Learned From a Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor Case.

Factor XI deficiency (hemophilia C or Rosenthal syndrome) is an inherited rare disorder that leads to abnormal bleeding due to the paucity of the protein named factor XI, which plays a role in the blood clotting cascade. A 42-year-old male was referred to the urology outpatient clinic with macroscopic hematuria. The patient was scheduled for a repeat transurethral resection of a bladder tumor (TURBT).

Could retrograde intrarenal surgery be a safe and effective alternative to mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy ın the management of relatively large (20-30 mm) stones? A critical evaluation.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in patients with renal stones sizing 2-3 cm.

Methods: A total of 566 patients from 6 institutions who underwent mPCNL (n = 440) and RIRS (n = 126) procedures were enrolled in our study. The retrospective patient cohort was reviewed and compared.
