Les urolithiases du bas appareil urinaire félin (BAUF) représentent une grande partie des affections graves du bas appareil urinaire chez le chat. Il est ainsi essentiel de les traiter au plus vite et de prévenir leurs récidives. Le traitement de choix était historiquement chirurgical, cependant les traitements médicaux ainsi que les thérapies de d...

INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the clinical characteristics as well as the postoperative course of urolithiasis patients undergoing a ureteroscopy (URS) without stent placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prospective case cohort study utilizing data collected in the Registry for Stones of the Kidney and Ureter (ReSKU) from a single institution be...

Purpose: To evaluate whether computer program-estimated urolith stone volume (SV) was a better predictor of spontaneous passage (SP) compared with program-estimated stone diameter (PD) or manually measured stone diameter (MD), and whether utilizing SV and MD together provided additional value in SP prediction compared with MD alone. Materials and M...

OBJECTIVES: To determine if management of ureteric stones in the UK changed during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and whether this affected patient outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a multicentre retrospective study of adults with computed tomography-confirmed ureteric stone disease at 39 UK hospitals during a pre-pande...

Background: There is a need to reliably render urolithiasis patients completely stone free with minimal morbidity. We report on the initial safety and feasibility with steerable ureteroscopic renal evacuation (SURE) in a prospective study using basket extraction as a comparison. Materials and Methods: A pilot randomized controlled study was conduct...

Purpose: To compare the effects of tadalafil, tamsulosin, and placebo as a medical expulsive therapy (MET) for distal ureteral calculi. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 132 renal colic patients with distal ureteric stones (≤10mm) over a period of 12 months. Patients were randomly divide...

To study patients who initially presented to the Emergency Department with acute renal colic to determine if patient-reported stone passage detects stone expulsion as accurately as follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan. This is a secondary analysis of a multi-center prospective trial of patients diagnosed by a CT scan with a symptomatic ureteral ...

ObjectiveTo determine social factors associated with advanced stone disease (defined as unilateral stone burden >2 cm) at time of presentation to a regional stone referral center. Little is known about social determinants of urolithiasis. We hypothesize that socioeconomic factors impact kidney stone severity at intake to referral centers.MethodsA r...

Purpose: Kidney stone patients routinely have CT scans during diagnostic work-up before being referred to a tertiary center. How often these patients exceed the recommended dose limits for occupational radiation exposure of >100 mSv for 5 years and >50 mSv in a single year from CT alone remains unknown. This study aimed to quantify radiation doses ...
