The EAU’s premier robotic urology event took place on November 6-7. Not in Düsseldorf as originally intended (and long hoped for), but as a two-day virtual event. The EAU Robotic Urology Section has years, if not decades, of experience with live transmissions of surgery from all across the world so it was well prepared for […]
Urolithiasis in a kidney transplanted patient is an uncommon but complex urological complication. Its potential severity comes from its occurrence on a solitary kidney and on a field of immunosuppression.
Excerpt It’s been estimated that half of all symptomatic kidney stones could be prevented with proper diagnosis and prophylactic treatment of underlying chemical nephrolithiasis risk factors.
To determine the external validity of STONE score for predicting the probability of ureteral stone in patients presenting in emergency department with suspicion of ureteral stones. In this prospective validation study, a total of 134 patients aged above 18 years, and first time arrived in the emergency unit for treatment of flank pain and then […]
To assess if autosegmentation-assisted radiomics can predict disease burden, hydronephrosis, and treatment strategies in patients with renal calculi. The local ethical committee-approved, retrospective study included 202 adult patients (mean age: 53 ± 17 years; male: 103; female: 99) who underwent clinically indicated, non-contrast abdomen-pelvis CT for suspected or known renal calculi.
This article reviews imaging manifestations of complicated pyelonephritis associated with chronic renal stones disease, in particular xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) and emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN), as potential mimics of other renal diseases and malignances and provides helpful tips and differentiating features that may alert the radiologist to suspect a diagnosis of infection.
To evaluate how variations in peri-operative urine culture (UCx) and antibiotic prophylaxis utilization following robot assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) affect post-RALP urinary tract infection (UTI) rates in children, then use data to generate a standardized care pathway.
Purpose: Kidney stone recurrence rates vary between patients. A patient’s risk informs the frequency and intensity of preventative interventions. Clinicians routinely use clinical experience to estimate risk.
To determine and analyse the temporal changes in oncologic nephrectomy practice and training opportunities using data obtained from the UK BAUS nephrectomy register from 2008 to 2017. All nephrectomies within the dataset for this time period were analysed (n = 54251).
In patients with recurrent high grade or muscle-invasive bladder cancer and concomitant upper urinary tract tumors or non-functional kidney laparoscopic radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy with lomboaortic and pelvic lymph node dissection can be performed.
