Minimally Invasive Procedures

A review of the Moses effect and its applications in endourology.

The holmium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser, the gold standard for lithotripsy, is widely used in various endourological fields. Their physical characteristics contribute to the Moses effect. This narrative review aimed to analyze the current knowledge of the Moses effect and its applications in endourology.

A randomized comparative study of flexible ureterorenoscopy versus mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for treatment of renal stones 2 cm or less.

Flexible ureterorenoscopy (fURS) and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) have been increasingly used for the treatment of renal stones. However, current guidelines do not recommend one modality over the other.

Laser-focused ablative therapy for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia: A review of current applications and future directions.

Focal Laser ablation (FLA), or interstitial Laser thermotherapy, is a promising minimally invasive approach for the treatment of localized prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. This technique is gaining popularity among patients due to its ability to preserve pre-treatment quality of life.

Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy with the Simultaneous Implant of a Penile Prosthesis: Ten Years Follow Up - Beyond the Abstract

The idea of performing this operation comes from breast surgery, where after the removal, surgeons always proceed with immediate or remote reconstructive surgery, which usually only happens after 2 years in the case of radical prostatectomy.

"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).
