Use of renal ultrasound to detect hydronephrosis after ureteroscopy.
INTRODUCTION Ureteral obstruction is a potentially serious complication after ureteroscopy. Postoperative imaging with intravenous urogram and CT has been described as a means to detect asymptomatic or "silent" obstruction. We sought to evaluate the use of renal ultrasound to diagnose hydronephrosis after ureteroscopy in a large, contemporary series. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the 438 ureterosc...
متن کاملPatient position and semi-rigid ureteroscopy outcomes.
INTRODUCTION Two positions have been reported for ureteroscopy (URS): dorsal lithotomy (DL) position and dorsal lithotomy position with same side leg slightly extended (DLEL). The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes associated with URS performed with patients in DL vs. DLEL position. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 98 patients treated for ureteral calculi were randomized to ...
متن کاملSemi-rigid ureteroscopy for ureteric and renal pelvic calculi: Predictive factors for complications and success
OBJECTIVE To analyse and compare the effect of stone site and size, method of lithotripsy, and level of experience on the results and complications of semi-rigid ureteroscopy for ureteric and renal pelvic stones. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between April 2010 and May 2011, 90 patients underwent 95 ureteroscopies, using 7.5- and 9-F semi-rigid ureteroscopes, with or without pneumatic or laser lithotr...
متن کاملRigid ureteroscopy for diagnosis and treatment of ureteral calculi during pregnancy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate ureteroscopy as a treatment option for women presenting ureteral calculi during pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen pregnant patients presenting renal colic and indication of surgical treatment for ureteral calculi were analyzed. Patients were 20 to 34 years old (medium = 28), and the gestation period ranged from 12 to 34 weeks (medium = 18). Lumbar pain was presen...
متن کاملHydronephrosis Index as a New Method for the Evaluation and Follow-up of Fetal Hydronephrosis
Background: The present study was conducted to compare the efficiency of hydronephrosis index (HI) with those of pelvic anteroposterior (AP) diameter and parenchymal thickness in the diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis in the prenatal period, as well as 1, 6, and 12 months after birth. Methods: This study was conducted on pregnant women with the pregnancy age of > 30 weeks whose fetus was suspect...
