Addition of Sodium Bicarbonate to Irrigation Solution May Assist in Dissolution of Uric Acid Fragments During Ureteroscopy [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: We hypothesized that adding sodium bicarbonate (bicarb) to normal saline (NS) irrigation during ureteroscopy in patients with uric acid (UA) nephrolithiasis may assist in dissolving small stone fragments produced during laser lithotripsy ...

Perirenal hematoma extending to the ipsilateral scrotum region after shock wave lithotripsy treatment

Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Perirenal hematoma after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is an unusual but underdiagnosed complication. Most hematomas are asymptomatic, but severe complications are possible, which may require intervention such as a blood transfusion.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1990
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has revolutionized the treatment of urinary calculi. It should be considered the treatment of choice for renal stones smaller than 2 cm and for the majority of ureteral calculi, under which circumstances success rates approaching 80 to 90 per cent may be anticipated. Larger renal calculi or impacted ureteral stones

Long‐Term Efficacy and Safety of Digital‐Single‐Operator‐Video‐Pancreatoscopy Guided Lithotripsy for Pancreatic Duct Stones

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Ductal decompression has become the main approach for treating patients with symptomatic chronic calcifying pancreatitis and signs of ductal hypertension. Digital single operator video pancreatoscopy (dSOVP) has shown high success rates when compared with more established techniques such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ...

Internal stress wave measurements in solids subjected to lithotripter pulses [PDF]

, 1993
Semiconductor strain gauges were used to measure the internal strain along the axes of spherical and disk plaster specimens when subjected to lithotripter shock pulses. The pulses were produced by one of two lithotripters.

Understanding the influence of demographic and clinical factors on urinary stone composition: A retrospective multivariate study in a diverse population

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Demographic and clinical factors significantly influence urinary stone composition; however, data from other Arabian Gulf countries still lack further exploration of these variables with the aid of multivariate analyses. This study aims to address this gap by conducting an in‐depth multivariate analysis of the demographic and ...
