Is Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery with Semi-rigid Ureterorenoscope Feasible for Isolated Renal Pelvic Stones?
(Galenos Publishing House, 06.2022)
Objective: We compared the success and complication rates of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) performed with semi-rigid ureterorenoscopy (srURS) or flexible ureterorenoscopy (fURS) for isolated renal pelvic stones.

Non - invasive evaluation of obstruction after ureteroscopic stone removal: Role of renal resistive index assessment
(PAGEPress, 09.2020)
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate prediction of postoperative ureteral obstruction needing ureteral gent insertion by evaluating the resistive index (RI) values and the grade of hydronephrosis. Material and ...
Tips and tricks to improve ergonomics, efficacy, versatility, and overcome limitations of micro percutaneous nephrolithotomy
(Frontiers Media, 19.05.2021)
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has evolved over the decades from Standard to Mini to Ultramini PCNL to Micro-perc, with miniaturisation being the dominant theme and supine approach gaining momentum world over. Aim: ...
Simulation-based training models for urolithiasis: A systematic review
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2021)
Abstract Objectives: Urolithiasis is one of the most common presentations in urological practice and it is becoming increasingly important to provide structured, simulation-based training using validated training models. ...
Effect of simulation-based training on surgical proficiency and patient outcomes: A randomised controlled clinical and educational trial
(Elsevier, 2021)
Background: It is hypothesised that simulation enhances progression along the initial phase of the surgical learning curve. Objective: To evaluate whether residents undergoing additional simulation, compared to conventional ...
Attitudes of urologists on metabolic evaluation for urolithiasis: Outcomes of a global survey from 57 countries
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 12.2022)
Although stone disease is an important health problem with high incidence and recurrence rates, it is a preventable disease. Attitudes and practices of urologists regarding the prevention of recurrence continue to be a ...
Radiation exposure of patients during endourological procedures: IAEA-SEGUR study
(Society for Radiological Protection, 12.2020)
Fluoroscopy is increasingly used to guide minimally invasive endourological procedures and optimised protocols are needed to minimise radiation exposure while achieving best treatment results. This multi-center study of ...
Comparison of dusting and fragmentation methods in the fexible ureteroscopic treatment of kidney lower calyx stones
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Abstract To compare the long-term stone-free status of patients who underwent fragmentation of stones followed by active basketing versus stone dusting and spontaneous passage following fexible ureteroscopic treatment for ...
How does puncture modality affect the risk of intraoperative bleeding during percutaneous nephrolithotomy? A prospective randomized trial
(Elsevier, 2021)
Abstract Introduction and objectives: To evaluate the possible effects of two different renal puncture techniques (ultrasound-assisted [US-assisted], fluoroscopic-guided [FG]) on the intraoperative hemorrhage risk during ...
Importance of precise imaging for stone identification during shockwave lithotripsy: a critical evaluation of “OptiVision” as a post-processing radiography imaging modality
(Springer, 02.2022)
To evaluate the efficacy of a unique imaging software “OptiVision” on the confidence of stone identification using X-ray imaging during shockwave lithotripsy. A total of 57 patients with solitary radio-opaque kidney stones ...
