To assess the safety and efficacy of using continuous irrigation-modified hysteroscopy during transurethral pneumatic cystolithotripsy for large bladder calculi. A prospective study was carried out from May 2016 until March 2020.
The management of renal stone disease in the presence of chronic kidney disease is a challenging scenario, both in terms of surgical safety as well as perioperative outcomes. The aim of the present study is to study the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with chronic kidney disease.
The incidence of kidney stones in the United States is currently unknown. Here, we assessed the incidence of kidney stones using recent, nationally representative data. We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), from 2015 to 2018.
