Background: Here, we aim to develop and validate a viable prognostic nomogram model for predicting a stone-free rate of kidney stones patients based on retrospective cohort analysis.
Methods: This is a retrospective study that obtained a continuous cohort from the databases of two hospitals (General Hospital of Southern Theater Command, and Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital), including 522 patients with kidney stones who underwent Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery (ECIRS) from January 2015 to December 2022.The characteristics of the primary cohort between the SF (stone-free) and SR (stone residue) groups were identified using single factor and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis is generally difficult to treat. It may involve multiple courses of antibiotics and may be difficult to eradicate with high rates of recurrence. We present the case of a 33-year-old male patient with a previous history of renal tract calculi, stent insertions, and perinephric abscess with percutaneous drainage, which then led to a right nephrectomy.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of an optimized treatment approach for complex renal calculi, utilizing visual needle nephroscopy in conjunction with standard PCNL and holmium YAG laser. We collected data from 62 patients diagnosed with complex kidney stones who underwent this combined procedure using the visual needle nephroscope (Needle-perc, Youcare Tech, Wuhan, China). The percutaneous nephroscopic working channel was established by visual needle nephroscope, and the primary channel was expanded to 20 F to treat most of the main body of the calculi with a 550 μm holmium laser fiber.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the success and complication rates of retrograde intrarenal surgery for lower calyceal renal stones performed with novel tip-bendable suction ureteral access sheaths and standard ureteral access sheaths.
Methods: Between March 2023 and March 2024, a total of 88 patients underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery for lower renal calyceal stones smaller than 20 mm. Based on the access sheath used, patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n=43) included patients treated with novel tip-bendable suction ureteral access sheaths and Group 2 (n=45) included patients treated with standard ureteral access sheaths.

A nephropulmonary fistula is a rare complication of a non-functioning kidney, associated with a history of infection. Medical literature describes it as an adult disease in the pre-antibiotic era, and nowadays, is a rare complication. This study reports the case of a patient with nephrolithiasis who developed a nephropulmonary fistula resulting in the migration of renal coralliform stones to the lung parenchyma.

Introduction: Since percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was introduced in 1976, it has been the standard procedure for large renal stones. Over time, the PCNL technique changed and developed into various techniques. We introduce single-site multipuncture supine (SMS) PCNL to give a cosmetic advantage due to less tissue injury in complex renal stones.

Introduction: A model to predict the risk of surgical complications following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) could be a useful tool to guide clinical decision-making. The aim of this study was to develop a simple and widely applicable stratification tool to be used for patient counseling, surgical planning, evaluation of outcomes, and academic reporting.
Methods: Data of patients who underwent PCNL were retrieved from the database of the collaborating centers including demographics of patients, characteristics of their stones and urinary tracts, and perioperative data.

Simulation studies on temperature distribution in laser ablation help predict ablation rates, laser settings, and thermal damage. Despite the limited number of reported numerical studies on the temperature distribution of kidney fluid, there is no simulation study for kidney stone temperature distribution. We employ a numerical approach to study the kidney stone temperature distribution and predict ablation rates, which is an important parameter for clinical lithotripsy.

Kidney stones formation is a multifactorial condition and influenced, in some degree, by dietary habits. Authoritative clinical guidelines published nutritional recommendations for individuals prone to kidney stone formation. The association between dietary intake calcium to phosphorus (Ca/P) ratios and the prevalence of kidney stones is not well-established in extensive epidemiological studies.

Kidney stone disease (KSD) is a prevalent and complex condition, with an incidence of 85 cases per 100,000 individuals in Thailand. Notably, over 40% of cases are concentrated in the northeastern region, indicating a potential genetic influence, which is supported by genetic mutations reported in several families by our research group. Despite this, the genetic basis of KSD remains largely unknown for many Thai families.

Urolithiasis is a prevalent condition in urology, with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) serving as a common treatment for kidney stones under 2 cm. The Mayo Adhesion Probability (MAP) score, calculated from perinephric fat characteristics, is traditionally used to assess surgical outcomes but has not been explored in the context of ESWL. This study aims to evaluate the effect of MAP score on the success rate of ESWL.

Background: A body of evidence has suggested bidirectional relationships among gallstone disease (GSD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and kidney stone disease (KSD). However, the results are inconsistent, and studies on this topic in China are relatively few. Our goal is to explore the bidirectional associations among these three diseases through a multicenter study, systematic review, and meta-analysis.

This article delved into the comprehensive study by Jiang , which meticulously examined the bidirectional relationships among gallstone disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and kidney stone disease through a multicenter study, systematic review, and meta-analysis. The study provides significant evidence supporting these associations, offering valuable insights into the etiology and potential prevention strategies for these interconnected conditions. The clinical significance of these bidirectional relationships is profound, as they underscore the importance of recognizing these conditions not only as isolated diseases but as part of a complex network that can influence each other.
