Comparison of Safety and Efficacy in Preventing Postoperative Infectious Complications of a 14/16F Ureteral Access Sheath with a 12/14F Ureteral Access Sheath in Flexible Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy.

abstract：PURPOSE:Partial nephrectomy has been established as a standard of care for T(1a) renal tumors. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has been described as more difficult to perform than open partial nephrectomy (OPN). We compare our series of LPN and OPN. PATIENTS AND METHODS:From October 2002 to January 2006, 76 LPN...
