Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed urodynamic parameters in 76 patients who underwent continent cutaneous urinary diversion using the Mitrofanoff principle and the Yang-Monti procedure, focusing on how well the stoma functioned over at least 6 months post-operation.
- Results showed a high continence rate of 87%, with 66 patients classified as continent and 10 as incontinent, highlighting significant differences in their pressures and conduit lengths.
- The evaluation revealed that in both groups, the pressures remained low during resting and contractions, but the continent group had better closure pressures and longer functional conduits compared to the incontinent group.

Objective: To assess the surgical results of patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) using a ureteral access sheath (UAS) for management of renal stones sized 1-2 cm compared between patients who did and did not undergo preoperative ureteral stenting.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 83 patients (aged ≥ 20 years) who underwent RIRS from July 2021 to January 2023. All patients had renal calculi (stone size: 1-2 cm) located within the pelvicalyceal system.
Background: About one in 200 to one in 300 male births has hypospadias. The prevalence of this congenital anomaly varies worldwide. The meatus is located distally in approximately 70% of cases.

Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study included 256 patients subjected to flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) for ureteral or renal stones from March 2018 to July 2022. Treatment groups included the standard antibiotic prophylaxis group (group 1, n=128) and the enhanced prophylaxis group (group 2, n=128).
Objectives: To evaluate the role of preoperative UWT in the prediction of impaction of ureteral stones stratified according to stone size in ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy.
Patient And Methods: This study included 154 patients submitted to URSL for ureteral stones. Radiological data comprised the presence of hydronephrosis, anteroposterior pelvic diameter (PAPD), proximal ureteric diameter (PUD), and maximum UWT at the stone site.
Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica are polymorphic liver flukes that show considerable overlap between species, and various protein separation techniques have been used as alternative means of differentiation. Acid and alkaline polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) show differences between F.
