Analysis of factors affecting intraoperative hemorrhage during percutaneous nephrolithotomy and establishment of nomogram model
This study aimed to identify the factors that influence intraoperative hemorrhage during PCNL and develop a predictive nomogram model based on these factors.A total of 118 patients who underwent PCNL at the Department of Urology, The Affiliated Huai ’an No.1 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2021 to September 2023 was included in this study. The patients were divided into a hemorrhage group (58 cases) and a control group (60 cases) based on the decrease in hemoglobin levels after surgery. The clinical data of all patients were collected, and both univariate analysis and multivariate logistic ...

Flank versus prone position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the flank position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). We searched PubMed, Embase, SCOPUS, the Cochrane database libraries, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing PCNL in flank position are included in this meta-analysis. The related trials met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using RevMan 5.4. Seven randomized controlled trials were included, involving a total of 587 patients. We found that there was a lower decrease in hemoglobin levels in the flank position group compared to prone-positi...

Role of oxalic acid in fungal and bacterial metabolism and its biotechnological potential
AbstractOxalic acid and oxalates are secondary metabolites secreted to the surrounding environment by fungi, bacteria, and plants. Oxalates are linked to a variety of processes in soil, e.g. nutrient availability, weathering of minerals, or precipitation of metal oxalates. Oxalates are also mentioned among low-molecular weight compounds involved indirectly in the degradation of the lignocellulose complex by fungi, which are considered to be the most effective degraders of wood. The active regulation of the oxalic acid concentration is linked with enzymatic activities; hence, the biochemistry of microbial biosynthesis and d...

Super-mini PCNL (SMP) with suction versus standard PCNL for the management of renal calculi of 1.5 cm–3 cm: a randomized controlled study from a university teaching hospital
ConclusionSuper-mini PCNL is equally effective as standard PCNL in treating renal calculi up to 3 cm, with significantly reduced postoperative pain and duration of hospital stay and lower risk of Clavien grade ≥ 3 complications, although with higher operative times.

The 1-cm lower calyx calculus: SWT, URS or Mini-PCNL? Guidelines vs. reality.
Aktuelle Urol. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1055/a-2290-7250. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUrinary stones of the upper urinary tract can be considered a widespread public health concern due to their high incidence and prevalence and their health policy-related and financial implications. A significant proportion of newly diagnosed kidney stones are lower-pole stones, i.e., stones affecting the lower calyx group of the renal pelvicalyceal system. These are often diagnosed by chance, i.e., as incidental findings during ultrasound or CT scans performed for other reasons, or as "secondary stones" detected during the diagnostic work-u...

Urgent ureterorenoscopy as a primary treatment for ureteral stone: why not?
AbstractTo evaluate the feasibility of urgent ureteroscopy (uURS) and elective ureteroscopy (eURS) in the management of patients with renal colic due to ureteral stones. Patients who were operated for ureteral stones between September 2020 and March 2022 were determined retrospectively. The patients who were operated within the first 24 h constituted the uURS group, while the patients who were operated after 24 h were classified as eURS. No limiting factors such as age, gender and concomitant disease were determined as inclusion criteria. Patients with bilateral or multiple ureteral stones, bleeding diathesis, patients ...
