Objective: To evaluate the impact of coiling of the proximal end of the ureteral stent on stent-related symptoms (SRS) in in subgroup of patients undergoing preoperative ureteral stenting preceding flexible retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

Materials And Methods: We performed a prospective comparative study including patients undergoing stent placement 7-10 days prior to RIRS. Patients were divided into 2 groups; in Group 1 coiling of proximal end of the DJ was present, while in Group 2 coiling was absent.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to develop a machine-learning model to predict the risk of sepsis following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for kidney stones, including data from 1,552 patients across 16 centers.* -
  • Inclusion criteria for patients were specified, and certain conditions like concomitant ureteral stones were excluded, with antibiotic treatments used where applicable.* -
  • The Random Forest algorithm outperformed other machine-learning models, achieving high precision, recall, and accuracy, and a web-based version of the predictive tool is available for use in clinical settings.*

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of inserting a Foley catheter after ureteroscopy (URS) and JJ stent placement on pain scores, voiding patterns, biochemical parameters and postoperative complications.

Patients And Methods: A randomised clinical trial (1:1) with adult patients following unilateral URS + JJ stent placement was planned. In Group A, no Foley catheter was placed, in Group B, a Foley catheter was placed following URS + JJ stent placement.
