Stone-Free Rate (SFR): A New Proposal for Defining Levels of SFR [PDF]

open access: yesUrolithiasis, 2014
There is a lack of consensus in the definition of stone-free rate (SFR) after ureteric or renal stone surgery. We propose a simple classification to define levels of SFR post-treatment.

Impact of Ureteral Stenting Prior to Ureterorenoscopy on Stone-Free Rates and Complications [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Journal of Urology, 2013
To date, only few studies have evaluated the impact of ureteral stenting prior to ureterorenoscopy. This study is to clarify the role of preoperative ureteral stenting in the treatment for ureteral stones.

Factors Influencing Stone-Free Rate of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL); A Cohort Study

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Urology, 2022
Objective: To evaluate the success rate of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) therapy and identify relevant treatment-specific factors affecting stone-free rate (SFR) after ESWL. Materials and methods: All ESWL treatments in the years 2016–2019,

Ability of ESWL nomograms to predict stone-free rate in children

Journal of Pediatric Urology, 2021
We aimed to evaluate whether the pediatric extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) nomograms can predict stone-free status in children effectively and whether they are applicable to our series. We hypothesize that two current nomograms predicting successful treatment with ESWL in pediatric patients are valid.We evaluated 415 renal units (children

Prestenting Improves Ureteroscopic Stone-Free Rates

Journal of Endourology, 2007
Although the use of stents after ureteroscopy has been studied extensively, relatively little has been published about stent placement before complicated ureteroscopic procedures. In this study, we examined our experience with stent placement before ureteroscopic management of renal and ureteral stone disease.A total of 90 patients underwent ...

Factors affecting stone-free rates in retrograde intrarenal surgery

2022
Objective: We aimed to determine the factors that are effective in achieving stone-free status (SFS) in patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery for kidney stones.Material and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 160 patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in our clinic between January 2021 and July 2021 ...

Standardized Flexible Ureteroscopic Technique to Improve Stone-free Rates

Urology, 2012
To present a unique completely standardized sequence of steps performed before, during, and after flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) that achieves superior results for FURS treatment of renal calculi.The "Freiburg FURS technique" includes the following steps: (a) preoperative ureteral stenting; (b) placement of 2 hydrophilic wires; (c) semirigid ureteroscopy

Prediction of Stone-Free Rate after ESWL

European Urology, 2007
In the last decades of the past century the management of stone disease underwent an impressive change. Before the 1980s, open surgery represented the treatment of choice for most renal and ureteral stones. Meanwhile, open surgery for stones nearly vanished by the continuous refinement of minimal invasive surgical procedures such as ureterorenoscopy ...
