Primary ureteroscopy for distal-ureteral stones compared with ureteroscopy after failed extracorporeal lithotripsy [PDF]

, 2006
Background and Purpose: We reviewed our experiences with ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (URS-PL) for the treatment of distal-ureteral stones and investigated whether failed extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is a limiting factor for the ...

Distal urethral obstruction in an eight‐week‐old colt with struvite urolithiasis

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page e130-e136, March 2026.
Summary An 8‐week‐old Thoroughbred colt presented with acute colic signs. Physical examination and transcutaneous ultrasound of the abdomen and penis revealed a urinary tract obstruction in the distal urethra due to urolithiasis. A distal urethrotomy over the site of obstruction was performed to remove the urolith and relieve the obstruction.

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy and litholytic therapy in cholelithiasis [PDF]

, 1992
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and litholytic therapy were used in 100 patients over a period of 16 months. ESWL was carried out with a Lithostar Plus and chenodeoxycholic acid was used as the lytic agent, given until 3 months after complete

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.
