Treatment modalities for small-sized urolithiases and their impact on health-related quality of life
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with urinary stones 10 mm or smaller have better HRQoL when treated with MET vs. active surveillance, when treated with SWL vs. URS for renal stones, and when treated with URS vs. SWL for ureteral stones. There is an important need for more studies on this topic.PMID:38587975 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8698 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Comparison of immediate versus post-stenting ureteroscopy for ureteral stones treatment
J Med Life. 2023 Dec;16(12):1745-1749. doi: 10.25122/jml-2023-0199.ABSTRACTUreteroscopy is a highly effective treatment for ureteral stones, characterized by a high stone-free rate and a low need for re-treatment. Ureteral stent placement can improve the insertion of the ureteral access sheath and ureteroscope but may be associated with higher morbidity prior to and after ureteroscopy. The study aimed to compare immediate versus post-stenting ureteroscopy for ureteral stone treatment in terms of operative time, intra- and post-operative complications, length of hospital stay, and stone-free rate. This prospective study inv...
