Contemporary volume-outcome relationships for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: results from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:During laparoscopic nephrectomy (LPN), a stapling device is often used for vascular control, especially of the renal vein. Herein, we report our experience using a polymer clip (Hem-o-lok) for routine control of the vessels during LPN in the animal and clinical setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Fift...
