Effect of tranexamic acid irrigation on perioperative blood loss during mini‐percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A pilot double‐blind randomised controlled trial

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding 0.1% tranexamic acid (TXA) to irrigation fluid in reducing perioperative blood loss during mini‐percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini‐PCNL). Patients and Methods In this prospective, randomised study, 40 patients undergoing mini‐PCNL were allocated to receive irrigation fluid containing ...

The benefits of PCNL combined with ureterorenoscopy compared to isolated PCNL in urolithiasis (PRECISE): a multicentre randomised controlled trial protocol

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue 1, Page 76-86, January 2026.
Background Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) often fails to achieve complete stone clearance with a single procedure. Residual fragments, irrespective of size, are associated with increased stone‐related morbidity and a higher likelihood of re‐intervention.

Nanofluid‐Enhanced Laser Lithotripsy Using Conducting Polymer Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 48, December 29, 2025.
Incorporating polymeric nanoparticles, PEDOT:PSS, with a high near‐infrared absorption coefficient into the fluid significantly enhances the dusting efficiency of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for kidney stone treatment. This approach, which leverages the control of light‐matter interactions, integrates seamlessly with the current laser lithotripsy workflow.
