Residual fragments of urinary calculi after flexible ureteroscopy (URF) can cause symptoms and additional surgeries. The assessment of residual fragments by imaging is not standardized. Computed tomography (CT) is the best way for evaluation of urinary stones, however, ionizing radiation from CT is deleterious. The aim of this study is to define which patients may avoid CT for evaluation …
Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) is the standard treatment for complex kidney stones, but it can have serious complications. The Clavien-Dindo Classification helps to evaluate those. However, it simplifies by considering only the most serious. The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) was developed to address this limitation by providing an index that assesses multiple complications…
Nephrolithiasis, a chronic and recurrent disease, represents a significant burden of morbidity on a global scale. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), a first-line treatment for kidney stones, aims for complete stone elimination (stone-free rate). However, postoperative complications may arise, raising questions about the impact of these clinically relevant variables on patients…
Urolithiasis is the second most common cause of nephrectomy. Loss of renal function because of obstruction or infection is the most prevalent cause for nephrectomy in these patients. However, patients submitted to nephrectomy due to struvite stones may also have metabolic risk factor for calcium or uric acid stones that may lead to recurrence of stones in the remaining kidney. Objective: …
Urinary lithiasis is a prevalent disease whose incidence is increasing over the years. Epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is related to increased risk for formation of urinary calculi. There are no prospective studies linking the reduction of body weight to a reduction of metabolic lithogenic factors.Objective: to evaluate the influence of low-calorie diet on serum and urinar…
