Evaluation of dusting versus basketing — can new technologies improve stone-free rates?
Nature Reviews Urology, 2016Over the past two decades, the management of upper-tract urinary stones has dramatically changed towards an increase in the use of ureteroscopic treatment. This change has been driven by technological advances such as the creation of flexible ureteroscopes with reduced calibre (which now have digital, disposable and dual flexion capability) and holmium

Calcium Phosphate Content Does Not Affect Stone-Free Rate After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Journal of Urology, 2012Recent research suggests that the stone-free rate for percutaneous nephrostolithotomy is lower in patients with calcium phosphate stones than in those with stones of other compositions. We reviewed our percutaneous nephrostolithotomy outcomes to investigate this unexplained finding.A total of 188 patients with sufficient data available for review ...

Preoperative Nomograms for Predicting Stone-Free Rate After Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Journal of Urology, 2006Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is currently accepted as a first line treatment modality for urolithiasis. In obtaining informed consent it is important to inform patients of the stone-free rate with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy before surgery.

To determine factors affecting the stone-free rate and complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for treatment of staghorn stones.The computerized database of patients who underwent PNL for treatment of staghorn stones between January 2003 and January 2011 was reviewed. All perioperative complications were recorded and classified according to

Urolithiasis, 2013
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether computed tomography (CT) parameters can predict the success of ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) and establish a model for predicting the success rates of a single URSL procedure for the treatment of a single ureteral stone.

Kidney mobility during supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (sPCNL) may negatively affect the accuracy of the approach and surgical efficacy. This study investigated the effects of kidney stabilization on surgical efficacy, stone-free rate (SFR), and complication profile. Eighty-five patients who underwent standard sPCNL for ≥ 2 cm kidney stones between
