TL;DR: In the porcine model the LigaSure system is a viable option for laparoscopic management of arteries up to 6 mm. and veins up to 12 mm. in diameter and in some cases vessel sealing could not be accurately assessed before vessel division.

TL;DR: Ureteroscopic lithotripsy is safe, successful, and efficient in the morbidly obese patient with symptomatic stones <1.5 cm and the stone-free rate was 70%.
Abstract: Background and Purpose: The surgical treatment of kidney and proximal ureteral stones in morbidly obese patients (>14 kg/m2) remains difficult because shockwave lithotripsy is precluded by weight limitations and percutaneous nephrolithotomy is associated with difficult access and a high (9%) rate of transfusion. We review our experience with retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy in morbidly obese patients with renal and proximal ureteral stones. Patients and Methods: Between December 1992 and April 2000, five women and three men with a mean age of 46.5 years (range 33-68 years) and a mean body mass index of 54 (range 45-65.2) underwent 10 independent ureteroscopic procedures for urolithiasis. The average stone size was 11.1 mm (range 5-25 mm). Lithotripsy was performed with the holmium laser in eight patients (60%) the electrohydraulic lithotripter in four (30%), and the tunable-dye laser in the remaining patient. Stone-free status was defined as no stones visible on a plain film with nephrotomograms or CT...

TL;DR: The use of matched pair analysis using a large cohort of patients treated with the HM3 for retrospective matching may allow for accurate determination of the effectiveness of new lithotripsy technology with a relatively small clinical study group.

TL;DR: Changes in the proteomic profile of adolescents with varicocele and normal semen parameters (VNS group) indicate that normal semen analysis may not reflect alterations in proteins in seminal plasma, which will facilitate detection of new proteins associated with spermatogenesis and sperm function.
