Comparing thulium fiber versus high power holmium laser in bilateral same sitting retrograde intrarenal surgery for kidney stones: Results from a multicenter study.

Purpose: Traditionally, bilateral urolithiasis treatment involved staged interventions due to safety concerns. Recent studies have shown that same-sitting bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery (SSB-RIRS) is effective, with acceptable complication rates. However, there's no clear data on the optimum laser for the procedure.

Comparing outcomes of thulium fiber laser versus high-power Holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy in pediatric patients managed with RIRS for kidney stones. A multicenter retrospective study.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate thulium fiber laser (TFL) safety and efficacy compared to high-power (HP) Holmium:YAG laser in pediatric patients who have undergone retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for kidney stones.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from pediatric patients who underwent RIRS for kidney stones between 2018 and 2020. Complications were assessed 4-6 weeks postoperatively.

Ureteroscopic lithotripsy by thulium fiber laser versus holmium laser: A single-center prospective randomized study.

Objective: Laser lithotripsy has been the standard of care for lower and mid-ureteric calculi. Thulium fiber laser (TFL) is a new introduction to this field, which has been extensively studied for retrograde intrarenal surgery. We have done a prospective randomized study of ureteroscopic lithotripsy between TFL and holmium: Yttrium-aluminum-garnet (HO: YAG) laser to know the efficacy of stone fragmentation, stone-free rate, and complications.

Fracture of the penis: a radiological or clinical diagnosis? A case series and literature review.

Introduction: Fracture of the penis is rare and needs a surgeon's attention for appropriate management. The exact role of diagnostic investigations has not been established. We studied the role of these investigations and the results of surgery.
