This case report describes a two-step percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in a 22-year-old male who had severe kyphoscoliosis and a malrotated kidney. The operation was performed with the patient under general anesthesia and in the left lateral decubitus position. All stones were successfully removed. No complications occurred during surgery, and the patient recovered well. Regardless of the posed challenges for kidney stone treatment in patients with spinal deformities, PCNL is not only a minimally invasive but also a safe and effective treatment option when done under correct positioning. The success rate is high, and the morbidity rate is low. According to the literature, only 125 cases of PCNL implications in kyphoscoliosis patients have been reported in emerging case reports and case series.

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy in Hepatolithiasis Associated With Decompensated Cirrhosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Evid Based Med

Research Center of Biliary Disease, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Multiple and complicated hepatolithiasis can be associated with decompensated cirrhosis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is unavailable for multiple and complicated hepatolithiasis, and the mainstay for decompensated cirrhosis is liver transplantation. However, due to the ethical factors and the complexity of operation, liver transplantation cannot be widely operated.

Intravenous misplacement of the nephrostomy catheter following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is severe and extremely rare, and little information is available about this complication. Because the patient's prognosis may be poor, sufficient attention should be paid to early identification and treatment of this complication. We report a case with intravenous misplacement of nephrostomy catheter and severe bleeding from the catheter after PCNL was transferred to our hospital.

Conventionally, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for treatment of chronic pain has involved a two-stage process: a short-term (e.g., 7 days) trial and, if significant pain relief is achieved, a permanent PNS system is implanted.

Background And Aims: The two most common interventions used to treat painless jaundice from pancreatic cancer are endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). Our study aimed to characterize the geographic distribution of ERCP-performing hospitals among patients with pancreatic cancer in the United States and the association between geographic accessibility to ERCP-performing hospitals and biliary interventions patients receive.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database for pancreatic cancer from 2005 to 2013.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of intravascular ultrasound-guided peripheral vascular interventions in patients with femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease.

Chief Medical Office - Health Economics & Outcomes Research, Philips, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) might offer clinical benefits compared to angiography-guided PTA in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). A cost-effectiveness model was developed to examine the benefits and costs of IVUS-guided PTA versus angiography-guided PTA in PAD patients with femoropopliteal (FP) occlusive disease. A two-step model (a one-year decision tree followed by a lifetime semi-Markov model) was developed from a German healthcare payer perspective to estimate the costs and outcomes over a one-year and lifetime horizon.
