Staghorn Calculi of the Kidney: Classification and Therapy

British Journal of Urology, 1990
Summary— Following the introduction of new techniques, the reclassification of staghorn calculi is indicated in order to establish the most suitable form of treatment.Of 269 patients with staghorn calculi treated over a 3‐year period, 56% underwent extracorporeal Shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) monotherapy; 16% required open surgery and the remaining 28 ...

Medullary Sponge Kidney and Staghorn Calculi

Urologia Internationalis, 1990
We describe a 65-year-old female with bilateral staghorn calculi who presented with a Proteus mirabilis perinephric abscess secondary to a ruptured lower pole hydrocalyx. Radiologic evidence was consistent with underlying medullary sponge kidney (MSK) disease. Despite expectations to the contrary, MSK, a disease notable for many risk factors capable of

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for Calculi in Horseshoe Kidneys

Journal of Urology, 1991
Between 1983 and 1988, 15 patients (18 kidneys) underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy at this unit for calculi in horseshoe kidneys. A standard 1-stage percutaneous access technique with minor modifications was used. In situ disintegration with ultrasound or electrohydraulic lithotripsy was necessary in 15 moieties (83.3%) and nephrostomy drainage was

IR analysis of CaOx kidney calculi

SPIE Proceedings, 2009
IR absorption spectra of urea, urine without any deviation in composition and kidney oxalate calculi are studied. The shifting of stretching vibrations of carbonyl group C=O confirms that assert that the joining of calcium oxalate molecules and oxalate complexes join to urea molecules via oxygen atom of urea.

Current Management of Calculi in Horseshoe Kidneys

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 2000
To assess treatment options for calculi in horseshoe kidneys and the impact of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) on the management of renal stones.From June 1971 to January 1998, 52 patients with horseshoe kidneys and calculi received treatment at our Urologic Stone Unit. There were 40 men (77%) and 12 women (23%).

The Role of ESWL in the Treatment of Calculi with Anomalous Kidneys

European Urology, 1997
To evaluate the efficacy of Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in renal anomalies.From 1991 to May 1995. 53 patients with calculi in anomalous kidneys presented to our clinic for treatment with ESWL. Average patient age was 39 years, a range of 6-66 years. These patients (32 male and 21 female) underwent ESWL treatments. ESWL was performed in

Ureteroscopic management of renal calculi in anomalous kidneys

Urology, 2005
To review our experience with ureteroscopy in treating patients with renal calculi in anomalous kidneys and to evaluate the efficacy of this approach.Eight patients with renal calculi in anomalous kidneys who were managed by ureteroscopic procedures were identified. Demographic information, preoperative stone burden, operative information (ureteroscope

The Percutaneous Removal of Calculi From Transplanted Kidneys

Journal of Urology, 1985
Renal calculi complicating transplanted kidneys are uncommon but they can be an important cause of deterioration in graft function. We report 2 complicated cases managed by percutaneous nephrostolithotomy.

Percutaneous Management of Calculi Within Horseshoe Kidneys

Journal of Urology, 2003
Percutaneous treatment of patients with calculi in a horseshoe kidney can be challenging due to the altered anatomical relationship in the retroperitoneum. Therefore, we performed a multi-institutional review to assess the safety and efficacy of this minimally invasive technique.Of 37 patients identified with calculi in a horseshoe kidney at 3 ...
