Single-stage percutaneous ultrasonic disintegration and removal of renal calculi was attempted in 67 patients (80 calculi) and proved successful in 65 (97%). Extraction was achieved during the initial session in 52 patients (78%) and required either an adjuvant radiological procedure or repeat nephroscopy in 13. Single-stage removal combines the skills of the radiologist and urologist and is successful in the majority of cases.

Department of Paediatric Surgery and Urology, Southampton Children's Hospital, Southampton, UK.
Purpose: Recent efforts have sought to streamline gastrostomy insertion care, particularly length of stay (LOS). We report our initial experience with day-case gastrostomy (DCG) insertion.
Method: Retrospective review (April 2018-2024) of all primary gastrostomy insertions.
Unilateral and bilateral PVP for thoracolumbar OVCF with distant lumbosacral pain: a single-center retrospective analysis.
World Neurosurg
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command, Shenyang 110016. Electronic address:
Backgrounds: Previous studies have found that percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) can effectively improve the local pain of the affected vertebra caused by thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) regardless of unilateral or bilateral puncture, but there are few reports on whether it is equally effective for the accompanying distant lumbosacral pain.
Objective: To analyze the clinical effect of unilateral or bilateral PVP on thoracolumbar OVCF with distant lumbosacral pain.
Methods: The clinical data of patients with single-stage OVCF treated with PVP in our hospital from March 2019 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: The management of Garden IV femoral neck fractures presents a formidable challenge. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel technological approach for treating Garden IV femoral neck fractures, involving intracapsular decompression and the utilization of supported hollow screws.
Methods: Between October 2018 and October 2021, a cohort of 46 patients, comprising 25 males and 21 females, was admitted for Garden IV femoral neck fractures.
