Does previous standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy impair retrograde intrarenal surgery outcomes?

Int. braz. j. urol; 47 (6), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a previous standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on the outcomes of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). Materials and Methods: Outcomes of RIRS performed from January 2017 to January 2020 in adult patients with residual...

Bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus staged approach: a critical analysis of complications and renal function

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: Patients with bilateral kidney stones and burdened by large stones are challenging cases for endourologists. Simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (sbPCNL) is an option; however, it may be accompanied by important morbidity. An alternative is a staged PCNL, operating ...

Impact of patient position on the outcomes of percutaneous neprolithotomy for complex kidney stones

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the impact of the patient position on the outcomes of PCNL among patients with complex renal stones. Material and Methods: From July 2011 to July 2014, we collected prospective data of consecutive patients who underwent PCNL. We included all patients with complex stones (G...

Complications after prone PCNL in pediatric, adult and geriatric patients - a single center experience over 7 years

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction CROES-Clavien system (CCS) for grading complications in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a step towards standardization of outcomes. We categorized complications based on CCS and predicted risk factors across the entire cohort and individually for pediatric (P: ≤18 yea...

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the the effect of body mass index (BMI) on PNL results and complications with a large number of patients. Materials and Methods A total of 958 patients were included in the study, who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy in our clinic between 2008 and 2015. Patients we...

Skin to calyx distance is not a predictive factor for miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy outcomes

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the predictive value of the distance from skin to calyx (SCD) on the outcome and complication rates of patients undergoing mPNL. Materials and Methods Patient's charts, who had undergone mPNL between June 2012 and June 2015, were analyzed retrospectively. Patients who h...

Emergency percutaneous nephrostomy versus emergency percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with sepsis associated with large uretero-pelvic junction stone impaction: a randomized controlled trial

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction A randomized trial was conducted prospectively to evaluate the efficacy, related complications, and convalescence of emergency percutaneous nephrolithotomy compared to percutaneous nephrostomy for decompression of the collecting system in cases of sepsis associated with large uret...

Outcome and complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy as primary versus secondary procedure for renal calculi

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) as a primary procedure of patients following previous open surgery or post percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for renal calculi. Materials and Methods The medical records of 367 patients who underwent PCNL by a single surg...

Comparison of totally tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy and standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy for kidney stones: a randomized, clinical trial
