Purpose: Urolithiasis in infants is uncommon. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are the management options. RIRS is the least studied of these options in infants.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Horseshoe kidney is often associated with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and nephrolithiasis. Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is becoming one of the main treatment options for large stones in such patients.
Aim: To study the results of RIRS in patients with horseshoe kidney.

Objectives: Evaluation of the validity of the Quadruple-D score in the prediction of success in pediatric stone disease.
Materials And Methods: Of the 292 children treated with SWL between 2007 and 2023, a total of 158 children who had adequate follow-up data and evaluated with non-contrast computed tomography before SWL, were included in the study. Parameters were calculated for each of the stone volume (SV), skin-to-stone distance (SSD), stone density (SD) and stone location (SL) variables.

Introduction: We sought to investigate the effects of pretreatment oral hydration on the outcomes of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
Methods: Patients who undergoing ESWL for a single radio-opaque renal or proximal ureteric calculus ≤2 cm in size were randomized into two groups. The oral hydration group (OHG) administered 600 ml of water before ESWL, while the control group (CG) did not.

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a common procedure, and splenic rupture is a rare complication of ESWL. Depending on the stage of injury and patient's condition, treatment options include non-operative management (NOM) and emergency splenectomy. Diagnosis is not difficult with symptoms such as deteriorating hemodynamic and hematologic indices, localized physical signs of peritoneal irritation in the left hypochondriac region, and confirmation provided by signs of free fluid (hemoperitoneum) seen on ultrasound or computed tomography (CT).

Urolithiasis represents the most frequent complication of horseshoe kidneys. All known approaches for stone disease management have been reported in these patients, including Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, open surgery and laparoscopy. The purpose of this systematic review is to compare Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with other least-invasive procedures in patients with horseshoe kidneys.

We compared serum levels of CysC, C-reactive protein (CRP), and creatinine before and after ESWL. The study results may have implications for early detection of AKI and prevention of progression to chronic kidney disease.

Objective: To identify risk factors of perinephric hematoma following extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) for renal calculi through combined analysis of two randomized controlled trials.
Patients And Methods: This post-hoc analysis included adult patients with solitary renal calculi ranging from 5 to 15 mm, treated with SWL between 2016 and 2022. All patients received cross-sectional imaging (either non-contrast computer tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging) two days post-SWL to assess the presence and severity of perinephric hematoma.

Background: The safety of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for pancreatic stones (P-ESWL) and adverse events were not evaluated and classified within large sample population. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and classify the adverse events of P-ESWL based on a large sample cohort.
Methods: This is an observational study based on the large prospective chronic pancreatitis (CP) cohort.

Introduction: Music therapy may have some potential in the pain control of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and this meta-analysis aims to study the analgesic efficacy of music therapy for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Methods: We have searched several databases including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, EBSCO and Cochrane Library databases, and selected the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of music therapy for pain control of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. This meta-analysis was conducted using the random-effect or fixed-effect model based on the heterogeneity.

Background And Aims: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for pancreatic stones (P-ESWL) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are the preferred therapeutic approaches for painful chronic pancreatitis (CP) with pancreatic stones. This study aimed to report the short- and long-term outcomes following P-ESWL and ERCP in a large cohort with CP.
Methods: Patients with painful CP and pancreatic stones >5 mm in size, who underwent P-ESWL and subsequent ERCP between March 2011 and June 2018, were included in this retrospective-prospective mixed observational study.

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is an irreversible disease of varied etiology characterized by destruction of pancreatic tissue and loss of both exocrine and endocrine function. Pain is the dominant and most common presenting symptom. The common cause for pain in CP is ductal hypertension due to obstruction of the flow of pancreatic juice in the main pancreatic duct either due to stones or stricture or a combination of both.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) performed in the early period (within the first 24 hours). Data of patients who underwent SWL with a diagnosis of unilateral radiopaque 5 to 10 mm upper ureteral stones were retrospectively examined. Patients were divided into 2 groups.

: Nephrolithiasis is a heterogeneous disease with a high prevalence and recurrence rate. Although there has been much progress regarding the surgical treatment of stones, a standardized follow-up, especially in recurrent stone formers (SFs), has yet to be decided. This fact leads to the overuse of computed tomography (CT) scans and many reoperations in patients, thus increasing their morbidity and the financial burden on the health systems.

Ureteral stents play a vital role in urologic surgeries, aiding in urinary flow maintenance, obstruction alleviation and facilitating healing. However, when stents are forgotten, they can lead to encrustation, resulting in significant patient morbidity and posing challenges for urologists Stent-related complications have been shown to increase with the duration of time the stent is left in place. This report details the clinical presentation, diagnostic process, and treatment of a 68-year-old male patient had a neglected stent placed 18 years ago after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.
