Is a safety guidewire needed for retrograde ureteroscopy?
INTRODUCTION It is generally advised to have a safety guidewire (SGW) present during ureteroscopy (URS) to manage possible complications. However, it increases the strenght needed to insert and retract the endoscope during the procedure, and, currently, there is a lack of solid data supporting the need for SGW in all procedures. We reviewed the literature about SGW utilization during URS. MET...

Background: Periampullary duodenal diverticulum (PAD) is associated with increased incidence of biliary pathology presumably due to dysfunction of the sphincter of Oddi and ascending bacterial infection from the duodenum. Aim: to compare ERCP performance characteristics and outcomes in patients with (study group) and without PAD (control group). Materials and Methods: This is retrospective coho...

OBJECTIVE To assess the safety, efficacy, and stone-free rate (SFR) of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the management of lower calyceal stones of ⩽2 cm, and to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 120 patients with lower calyceal stones of ⩽2 cm were randomly divided into two equal groups: G...
متن کاملTreatment Outcomes of Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery for Renal Stones and Predictive Factors of Stone-Free
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the treatment of renal stones and to analyze the predictive factors for stone-free. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent RIRS for renal stones from January 2000 to July 2009. We identified 66 RIRSs (63 patients with 3 bilateral re...
متن کاملSystematic review and meta-analysis to compare success rates of retrograde intrarenal surgery versus percutaneous nephrolithotomy for renal stones >2 cm
BACKGROUND We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing stone-free rates between retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), using updated, more reliable evidence. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized controlled trials comparing RIRS and PCNL for >2 cm stones were identified from electronic databases. Stone-free rates for the procedures were compa...
