Article Abstract

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is one of the modern methods for treating kidney stones larger 2 cm. When anticoagulation therapy cannot be stopped, retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is recommended. We report a case of RIRS using flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS-UAS) and Thulium fiber laser (TFL) in a patient with multiple large kidney stones who could not be stopped on anticoagulant therapy. The surgery was successful and without complications. RIRS using FANS-UAS and TFL in this group of patients has high efficacy and safety.

Kidney stones have a high recurrence rate-10% within 5 years and 50% within 10. Crystalluria reflects the urinary physicochemical environment and may serve as a recurrence marker, but key crystals like brushite are rarely detected under ambient conditions. This study aimed to identify novel recurrence markers by inducing crystallization through urine cooling and analyzing crystal composition.

Background: Kidney stone formation is driven by an imbalance between lithogenic substances and crystallization inhibitors. Current guidelines recommend a 24-h urine collection in patients with kidney stone disease to assess the risk of stone formation and monitor therapy compliance. However, real-world data on adherence to these guidelines remain limited and outdated.

Objectives: To report outcomes of complete ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for horseshoe kidney (HSK) stones at a high-volume center and evaluate a novel technique (Needle-perc-assisted endoscopic surgery, NAES) for these patients.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all HSK stone patients who underwent PCNL at our institution over a 10-year period. The NAES technique was utilized during the most recent 4 years.

Background: Accurate complication reporting in endourology remains challenging, with the Clavien-Dindo Classification and Comprehensive Complication Index being the most commonly used systems. This study aimed to compare surgical outcomes and complication reporting in ureterolithotripsy (URL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) using both systems.

Methods: This prospective, single-center, non-interventional study included 473 patients undergoing URL, PCNL, or ESWL from October 2022 to October 2024.
