Assessing flexible ureteroscopy outcomes for lower Pole versus non lower Pole stones using the flexible and navigable suction ureteric access sheath: a prospective multicenter study by EAU Endourology and PEARLS group.

Purpose: Use of suction in flexible ureteroscopy is increasing lately. The introduction of flexible and navigable suction access sheath (FANS) has shown improved stone free rate (SFR). However, its efficacy in lower pole stone (LPS) in terms of SFR and complications is yet to be studied.

Prostatic Urethral Length as a Predictor for Surgery in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is associated with structural and morphological changes including elongation of prostatic urethral length. The aim of our study was to assess whether prostatic urethral length could predict need of surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over a 12-months duration.

Predictive Factors for the Peri-operative Outcome of Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy for Proximal Ureteric Stones.

Background: Proximal ureteric stones are considered one of challenging location for lithotripsy using semirigid ureteroscopes. Aim of the study was to assess clinical and radiological characteristics associated with outcome of lithotripsy using semirigid ureteroscope for proximal ureteric stones.

Methods: Prospective observational study was done on patients who underwent semirigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy for proximal ureteric stone.
