Stepwise voltage ramping causes less renal haematomas than fixed maximal voltage ESWL

1 May 2016 | | URO - Endourology & Stones
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) remains the recommended first line treatment for stones <2cm in the renal pelvis and upper or mid-pole calyces (Türk C, Knoll T, Petrik A, et al. European Association of Urology Guidelines on Urolithiasis. 2014). There...

Urinary NGAL, KIM-1 and L-FABP concentrations in antenatal hydronephrosis

1 March 2016 | | URO - Paediatrics
he elusive search for being able to diagnose pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) continues and this group of researchers investigated the possible clinical application of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1) and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding proteins...

Near-infrared fluorescence in robotic surgery

1 July 2015 | | URO - Functional / Reconstructive Urology, URO - Urologic Oncology
This is a systematic review and critical analysis of the current evidence on the applications of near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) in robotic urologic surgery. It uses indocyanine green (ICG), a sterile water-soluble dye which has been tested in various fields. In...

CRP to predict the need for surgical intervention in acute renal colic

1 May 2015 | | URO - Endourology & Stones
A previous paper has suggested that C-reactive protein (CRP) is a useful serum marker for determining the likelihood of a patient with renal colic requiring surgical intervention, the cut-off level being >28mg/l (specificity 88.9%, sensitivity 75.8%). This prospective observational study...

Supranormal function on MAG-3 – what is its significance and how to predict?

9 March 2020 | | URO - Paediatrics
Differential renal function (DRF) on MAG-3 scans is typically used in patients with pelvic ureteric junction obstruction (PUJ obstruction). Supranormal DRF is when the kidney with PUJO has higher DRF than the normal contralateral kidney. The authors in this study...

Is outpatient robotic surgery feasible in children?

12 October 2022 | | URO - Paediatrics
Minimally invasive surgery has helped to achieve shorter hospitalisations, reduce postoperative pain and analgesia requirements and provides better cosmetic results. Robotic urological outpatient surgery has been examined in recent times in the adult population; here Neheman et al. look at...
