A Machine Learning Predictive Model for Post-Ureteroscopy Urosepsis Needing Intensive Care Unit Admission: A Case–Control YAU Endourology Study from Nine European Centres

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
Introduction: With the rise in the use of ureteroscopy and laser stone lithotripsy (URSL), a proportionate increase in the risk of post-procedural urosepsis has also been observed. The aims of our paper were to analyse the predictors for severe urosepsis

Post-Ureteroscopy Infections Are Linked to Pre-Operative Stent Dwell Time over Two Months: Outcomes of Three European Endourology Centres

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate outcomes of pre-operative stent dwell time on infectious complications following ureteroscopy and stone treatment to identify a time cut-off.

Combined flexible URS and percutaneous ‘through and through’ puncture of an intra-renal cyst with internalisation of drainage, to treat calyceal obstruction and recurrent stones

Urology Case Reports, 2020
A 61 year old gentleman had a large renal cyst, thought to be causing a ‘pseudo-hydrocalyx’ leading to recurrent stones. Definitive treatment with laparoscopic deroofing was planned, however intra-operatively this was abandoned due to complex anatomy and

Microdamage analysis of single-use flexible ureteroscope immediately after lithotripsy use

Scientific Reports, 2022
This prospective ex vivo study investigated microdamage to single-use flexible ureteroscopes (fURS) after ureteroscopy and endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS). The performance of 30 WiScope devices (OTU Medical, San Jose, CA, USA) was examined

Ureteroscopic lithotripsy for ureteral stones in children using holmium: yag laser energy: results of a multicentric survey [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser lithotripsy has broadened the indications for ureteroscopic stone managements in adults, but few evidence are currently available in the pediatric population. OBJECTIVE: This article aimed to assess the outcome

An ORB-SLAM3-based Approach for Surgical Navigation in Ureteroscopy

Comput. methods Biomech. Biomed. Eng. Imaging Vis., 2022
In ureteroscopy a flexible ureteroscope is used to inspect the kidneys and the ureters. In this context, we investigate robotic solutions that leverage recent developments from Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to provide a 3D map of the organ

Ureteroscopy during pregnancy: Outcomes and lessons learned over 4 decades at a tertiary center in Norway

Current Urology, 2022
Background The management of suspected kidney stone disease in pregnancy is challenging. In cases of persistent flank pain and where investigations may have rendered equivocal results, ureteroscopy (URS) is a recognized diagnostic and therapeutic ...

Ureteroscopy-assisted retrograde nephrostomy for lower calyx calculi in horseshoe kidney: two case reports

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2012
Introduction We previously reported on the effectiveness of ureteroscopy-assisted retrograde nephrostomy during percutaneous nephrolithotomy and report two cases of lower calyx calculi in horseshoe kidney that were successfully treated with ureteroscopy ...

Emergent versus delayed lithotripsy for obstructing ureteral stones: a cumulative analysis of comparative studies [PDF]

, 2017
Objective To analyze the current evidence on the use of ureteroscopy (URS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the management of obstructing ureteral stones in emergent setting. Methods A systematic literature review was performed up
