Minimally Invasive Procedures
"Trilogy™ vs. 100W Ho: YAG Laser for Lithotripsy in Mini-PCNL: Superior Stone-Free Rates in a Randomized Controlled Trial".
To compare the clinical outcomes of lithotripsy using the 100W Ho:YAG laser and the Trilogy™ lithotripter in Mini-PCNL, and to determine the most effective method for stone clearance through a miniaturized percutaneous tract.
Laparoscopic Level II thrombectomy for renal cell carcinoma: An index case report from a national tertiary hospital.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is a rare and complex condition. Most cases have been managed through open surgery, particularly in premier institutes in Nepal. However, no published literature currently exists regarding laparoscopic management of such cases in this region.
Preliminary results of feasibility, safety and efficacy of robotic assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty with the SHURUI single-port robotic surgical platform in children.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of robotic assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) with the novel SHURUI single-port (SR-SP) robotic surgical platform in children. Between November 2023 and April 2024, 20 pediatric patients diagnosed with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) underwent transperitoneal RALP with the SR-SP surgical platform.
Use of Black-Star® magnetic-end double-J stent in transperitoneal and retroperitoneal pediatric robotic assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty.
The Black-Star® magnetic-end double-J ureteral stent (MEDJUS) is commonly used in pediatric urology, but few studies have analyzed its use in pediatric robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP), particularly with a retroperitoneal approach.
Prone retroperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision in single position: techniques and outcomes.
Conventional robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (RARNU) with bladder cuff excision (BCE) often requires changes in patient position, trocar placement, or robotic docking, increasing procedural complexity.
Trends, outcomes, and predictors of open conversion during minimally invasive radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma: a national analysis from 2010 to 2020.
We evaluated trends, predictors, and outcomes of unplanned open conversion for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) undergoing robotic radical nephroureterectomy (R-RNU) or laparoscopic RNU (L-RNU).
Trifecta of Same-Day Discharge after Single-Port Robotic-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy.
Introduction: There are numerous options available for the surgical treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia, and single-port robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (SP-RASP) has emerged as a novel method in this field.
Direct-in-scope suction with a 5.1Fr large working channel ureteroscope: what stone dust size for effective evacuation during laser lithotripsy? An in vitro analysis by PEARLS and section of EAU Endourology.
A novel larger 5.1Fr working channel flexible ureteroscope for Direct-In-Scope Suction (DISS) has recently been introduced. However, the optimal stone dust size for successful evacuation without working channel blockage is currently unknown.
Relocation of big stone fragments with direct-in scope suction.
To investigate the effectiveness of DISS feature of novel 7.5Fr and 9.2Fr single-use flexible digital ureteroscopes to relocate and evacuate stone fragments (2-5 mm in diameter) without any accessory instruments.
