A Biochemical Evaluation on Inflammatory Markers after Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy
We have read with great interest the paper published in a recent issue of ISRN Urology by Bantis et al. [1] entitled “can tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 be used as prognostic markers of infection following ureteroscopic lithotripsy?” in which they report preoperative and postoperative serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factorα (TNF-α) levels in patients with urolithiasis. ...

Endoscopic lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones is the cornerstone of treatment and a routine procedure for practicing urologists. Although highly effective in reducing or eliminating stone burden, ureteroscopy is associated with a significant risk of infectious complications, namely, fever, pyelonephritis, and rarely sepsis [1].

متن کاملA prospective randomized controlled trial on ureteral stenting after ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy.
PURPOSE A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate whether postoperative ureteral stenting is necessary after ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 58 patients with unilateral ureteral stones were randomized into either stented or unstented groups. Ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy was performed using a semirigid ureteroscope (6.5/7Fr) and ho...
متن کاملEffect of alpha1-blockers on stentless ureteroscopic lithotripsy
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficiency of alpha1-adrenergic antagonists on stentless ureteroscopic lithotripsy treating uncomplicated lower ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2007 to January 2013, 84 patients who have uncomplicated lower ureteral stones treated by ureteroscopic intracorporeal lithotripsy with the holmium laser were analyzed. The patients were divided i...
