Role of stone analysis in metabolic evaluation and medical treatment of nephrolithiasis.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB), the first step in treatment of patients with urothelial bladder cancers, is limited by technicalities, surgeon skill, and random chance. When high-risk superficial diseases are discovered, a repeated TURB is indicated. We reviewed current literature ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Stents are used abundantly to maintain ureteral patency. The majority are plastic tubes that adjust easily to upper urinary-tract motion. Recently, a coiled-wire lumenless stent was introduced (ZebraStent, Neo Medical, Munich, Germany) to facilitate expulsion of stone fragments after lithotripsy. Its metal c...
