Is there a place for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the endoscopic era?

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate whether there was still a place for ESWL therapy in the endourological era. From1988 to 2018, ESWL therapy was performed with 3 successive types of lithotripters in our hospital. From 1988 to 1998, theelectrohydraulic lithotripter NS-15 was used, and the electromagnetic lithotripter HK-V was put to use in 1999. … Leggi tutto

Assessing the risk of incident hypertension and chronic kidney disease after exposure to shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy

In this study we sought to determine if among individuals with urolithiasis, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) and ureteroscopy are associated with a higher risk of incident arterial hypertension (HTN) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). This was measured in a population-based retrospective study of 11,570 participants with incident urolithiasis and 127,464 without urolithiasis in The … Leggi tutto

Metabolic diagnosis and medical prevention of calcium nephrolithiasis and its systemic manifestations: a consensus statement

It is complementary to the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology guidelines. Future areas for research are identified 0

Percutaneous and Transureteral Biopsies of Renal Papillae: Safe and Appropriate Procedures for In Vivo Histologic Analysis in Stone Formers

According to the Randall plaque theory, urinary crystals may attach to focal interstitial deposits of calcium phosphate (CaP), localized in the tip of the renal papillae. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of papillary biopsy, performed during ureterorenoscopy (URS) or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), to obtain, in 0
