Supine versus prone percutaneous nephrolithotomy for renal calculi: Our experience.

Objectives: To compare operative times, safety, and effectiveness of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the supine versus the prone position.

Materials And Methods: An observational study of 100 patients was conducted in our institution for 2years from 2018 to 2020 divided into 2 groups: 50 patients underwent modified supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and 50 patients underwent standard prone PCNL. The inclusion criteria included a renal calculus (calyx or pelvis) of any size for which PCNL was indicated and exclusion criteria were patients having contraindications for PCNL such as bleeding disorders, pregnancy, high risk, and co-morbid conditions.

Use of conventional DJ stent and single loop stent with string after ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy: Can we use? Can it be effective?

Context: Use of conventional double j stent with string and single loop stent with string after ureterorenoscopy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the use of both types of stents using the Ureteral Symptom Score Questionnaire (USSQ) and assess proximal migration.

Settings And Design: This was a single institute study.

Outcome following renal autotransplantation in renal artery stenosis.

Introduction: With significant advances in the area of interventional radiology, angioplasty and stenting have become preferred first-line treatment in patients with significant renal artery stenosis. However, not all patients have favorable anatomy to undergo minimally invasive treatments, and reconstruction of the renal artery is an option. In select cases, either improved renal function or maintenance of existing function and sometimes resolution of hypertension can follow surgical treatment.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy of horseshoe kidney: Our institutional experience.

Purpose: To review our success in PCNL for managing large horse shoe kidney stones as primary treatment.

Method: Between 2012 and 2016, a total of 23patients (24 renal units) underwent percutaneous renal surgery for stone dieses in horseshoe kidneys. Indications were HSK with stone more than 1 cm in size and failed ESWL.

Miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus retrograde intrarenal surgery in the treatment of renal stones with a diameter <15 mm: A 3-year open-label prospective study.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-perc) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in management of renal stones with a diameter <15 mm.

Materials And Methods: This was an open-label prospective study that included a total of 80 cases underwent mini-perc ( = 40) and RIRS ( = 40) between July 2014 and August 2017. The primary outcome objective was stone-free rate, retreatment rate, complications, hospital stay, operative time, and reduction in hemoglobin level.

Metabolic Evaluation in Paediatric Urolithiasis: A 4-Year Open Prospective Study.

Introduction: Children with urolithiasis are associated with considerable morbidity and commonly associated with metabolic abnormalities. By treating these abnormalities stone formation is prevented.

Objectives: To study the metabolic risk factors of urolithiasis in children and compare them with literature.
