complications during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), ureteroscopy, and retrograde …

Objectives To create an in vitro anatomic bench model that can mimic in vivo intrapelvic
pressure (IPP) during ureteroscopy (URS) and compare it against existing in vivo and ex …

(I) Introduction: The use of Doppler ultrasound allows us to indirectly assess the effect of
increased intrarenal pressure on renal blood flow during retrograde intrarenal surgery …

Objectives To evaluate the changes of peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity
(EDV), and resistive index (RI) of renal and arcuate arteries at the ipsilateral and …

The number of ureterorenoscopic procedures for upper urinary tract stone management has
increased dramatically during recent years worldwide [1]. Developments in flexible …

Aim. To evaluate intraoperative changes in renal microcirculation during percutaneous
nephrolithotomy (PCNL), as well as its dynamics in the early postoperative period. Materials …

Purpose: This study aimed to establish a CT imaging grading system and explore its value in
evaluating upper urinary tract calculi associated with kidney infections. Methods: CT images …

Introduction: A prolonged operative time of lithotripsy with ureteroscopy for urolithiasis
increases the risk of infectious complications; however, few reports have investigated the …

Ureteroscopy is one of the most significant advances in the field of endourology over the last
decades, allowing urologists a minimally invasive approach to the upper urinary tract …
