Severe bloodstream infection due to KPC-producer e coli in a renal transplant recipient treated with the double-carbapenem regimen and analysis of in vitro synergy testing a case report [PDF]
Transplant recipients are at high risk of infections caused by multidrug resistant microorganisms. Due to the limited thera- peutic options, innovative antimicrobial combinations against carbape- nem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae causing severe infections

Percutaneous nephrostomy for endopyelotomy [PDF]
Percutaneous full-thickness incision and stenting of the ureteropelvic junction (endopyelotomy) relieved obstruction in 33 (87%) of 38 patients treated over a 2-year period. Proper placement of the percutaneous nephrostomy tract through a posterior middle calyx and of a guidewire across the ureteropelvic junction is necessary in order to gain access to

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.

Objectives To assess the longer‐term impact of intraoperative cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) on stone‐related morbidity after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), since intraoperative CBCT allows for the detection and removal of residual fragments during the same procedure, improving stone clearance and thereby potentially diminishing stone ...

Emergency Percutaneous Nephrostomy [PDF]
The primary indication for the urgent percutaneous nephrostomy is to relieve an obstructed and infected renal collecting system (pyonephrosis). Percutaneous nephrostomy catheter placement is a safe procedure with a high technical success rate. This article will discuss all aspects regarding the emergent placement of nephrostomy catheters, including the
