Rise in intraluminal temperature during ureteroscopy: Is this a concern?
Investig Clin Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea.
The global increase in urolithiasis prevalence has led to a shift towards minimally invasive procedures, such as retrograde intrarenal surgery, supported by advancements in laser technologies for lithotripsy. Pulsed lasers, particularly the holmium YAG and the newer thulium fiber laser, have significantly transformed the management of upper urinary tract stones. However, the use of high-power lasers in these procedures introduces risks of heat-related injury.

Background: Autologous breast reconstruction patients require thorough assessment, with the profunda femoris artery perforator (PAP) flap having become an important autologous reconstruction option alongside the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Breast reconstruction impacts patients psychologically, physically and mentally. The BREAST-Q aids in the assessment of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Purpose: Postoperative fever (POF)/urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most unpleasant and undesirable conditions for surgeons after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). RIRS is not recommended for any patient with a positive urine culture to avoid POF and UTI, but some patients may develop postoperative UTI even if the urine culture is sterile. This study investigated the predictive factors of fever and UTIs after RIRS.

Heparin is an anticoagulant used invariably in all cardiac surgery. Heparin dosing and its reversal were determined by monitoring activated clotting time (ACT). Intermittent heparin dosing after initial bolus dose is widely practiced to maintain ACT level 200-300 seconds in Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB).

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Antoine-Béclère Hospital, Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, 157, rue de la Porte-de-Trivaux, 92140 Clamart, France; Université de Paris-Saclay, Kremlin-Bicêtre, France. Electronic address:
When treating anterior and apical prolapse, laparoscopic sacral colpopexy is the gold standard. Currently, it is suggested that the anterior mesh must be the lowest possible to better treat the prolapse and lower the risk of recurrence. The objective of our study was to determine the possibility of using intraoperative transperineal ultrasound measurements during laparoscopic sacral colpopexy in order to better localize the mesh positioning.
