To determine if SES correlates with severity of kidney stone disease and 24-hour urine parameters. An IRB approved prospectively maintained database for nephrolithiasis was retrospectively analyzed for both 24-hour urine results and surgical procedures performed from 2009 to 2019.
To evaluate if trial of passage or initial surgical intervention resulted in less narcotic analgesia utilization in patients with acute renal colic due to stone disease. We retrospectively evaluated 135 patients with acute renal colic due to nephroureterolithiasis managed by a single surgeon.
