Urinary tract infection after flexible ureterorenoscopy for urolithiasis in patients with positive treated preoperative urinalysis Urolithiasis (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-11
Abstract Prevalence of kidney stones is increasing worldwide, flexible ureterorenoscopy (f-URS) is the most common surgical treatment. Postoperative urinary tract infection (PUTI) is the primary complication. Some risk factors are classically associated with PUTI, especially preoperative positive urinalysis (POPU). We aimed to identify risk factors for PUTI after f-URS for urolithiasis in patients

Deciding on a novel predictive value to gauge how well patients with lower ureteric stones respond to medical expulsive therapy Urolithiasis (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-05
Abstract This study, conducted over 4 years in Baghdad, Iraq, aimed to determine the importance of ureteric jet assessment in medical expulsive therapy (MET) for distal ureteral stones. A total of 156 patients with distal ureteral stones (≤ 10 mm) participated, and their ureteric jets were observed using a color Doppler scanner before and after 2 weeks of MET. The main focus was the success rate of

The remaining stone fragments after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) can lead to stone recurrence/regrowth, or stone-related events (SRE). We aimed to delineate the clinical circumstances that are decisive for spontaneous passage of clinical insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) (primary outcome) and define risk factors for stone recurrence/regrowth and their clinical manifestation (secondary

The relationship between urinary tract infection caused by urease-producing bacteria and lithiasis due to struvite stones is well established in the literature. However, there is limited knowledge on whether non-urease producing bacteria can also promote crystallization. In our study, we analyzed the association between urinary lithiasis, other than struvite by crystallography and non-ureolytic bacteria

Extrapolations from the adult population have suggested that opioids should be avoided in the management of pediatric urolithiasis, but the literature is sparse with regards to actual practice patterns and the downstream implications. We sought to investigate the rate of oral opioid administration for children presenting to the emergency room (ER) with urolithiasis and to identify associations between

Abstract Association of increased oxidative stress (OS) with the pathophysiology of renal stone formation has not been explored greatly in the field of urolithiasis. In this prospective case–control study, we measured 24-h urinary 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels in patients with urolithiasis and compared them with matched healthy controls. We also measured 24-h urinary uric acid, calcium

Drainage catheters are used almost routinely to provide urinary drainage, prevent extravasation of urine, and create tamponade against bleeding after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL). In the literature, there is no standardized approach to determining which type of catheter is superior. In this context, we aimed to comparatively analyze two different types of catheters (re-entry malecot catheter
