Surgical Management of Stones: American Urological Association/Endourological Society Guideline, PART I
Dean G. Assimos,Amy E. Krambeck,Nicole L. Miller,Manoj Monga,M. Hassan Murad,Caleb P. Nelson,Kenneth T. Pace,Vernon M. Pais,Margaret S. Pearle,Glenn M. Preminger,Hassan Razvi,Ojas Shah,Brian R. Matlaga +12 more
TL;DR: This Guideline is intended for use in conjunction with the individual patient's treatment goals, and in all cases, patient preferences and personal goals should be considered when choosing a management strategy.

Prospective Evaluation and Classification of Ureteral Wall Injuries Resulting from Insertion of a Ureteral Access Sheath During Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
Olivier Traxer,Alexandre Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: Ureteral access sheath use for retrograde intrarenal surgery should involve systematic visual assessment of the entire ureter to recognize severe ureTERal injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of preoperative ureteral stenting on stone-free rates of ureteroscopy for nephroureterolithiasis: a matched-paired analysis of 286 patients.
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pre-operative ureteral stent placement on success rates of Ureteroscopy (URS) for nephroureterolithiasis was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
CUA Guideline: Management of ureteral calculi
TL;DR: This guideline aims to help standardize the treatment of ureteral stones to optimize treatment outcomes and by performing extensive literature reviews for each topic evaluated generates an evidence-based consensus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic impact of urinary stones
Elias S. Hyams,Brian R. Matlaga +1 more
TL;DR: While conservative treatment following a primary stone event appears to be cost effective, the economic impact of medical therapy for recurrent stone formers requires clarification despite its clinical efficacy.

Journal ArticleDOI
Passive dilation by ureteral stenting before ureteroscopy: eliminating the need for active dilation.
TL;DR: This study shows that passive dilation of the ureteral orifice in preparation for Ureteroscopy is a straightforward, successful and beneficial technique in children, with no associated complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy versus flexible ureteroscopy/holmium laser lithotripsy: cost and outcome analysis.
Elias S. Hyams,Ojas Shah +1 more
TL;DR: While percutaneous nephrostolithotomy achieves superior stone clearance, ureteroscopy achieves acceptable treatment outcomes with a low risk of subsequent stone related events or interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Preoperative Ureteral Stenting on Outcome of Ureteroscopic Treatment for Urinary Lithiasis
TL;DR: Results show that ureteropyeloscopic lithotripsy and stone extraction may be performed with a high success rate and was significantly inversely related to stone size, cumulative stone burden and number of stones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Stone Location on Success Rates of Endoscopic Lithotripsy for Nephrolithiasis
Adam E. Perlmutter,Can Talug,William F. Tarry,Stanley Zaslau,Hesam Mohseni,Stanley J. Kandzari +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that stone location does not significantly affect stone clearance rates when performing endoscopic lithotripsy for intrarenal calculi and URS is an important tool for treating nephroureterolithiasis with excellent success rates and minimal morbidity.

Outcome Analysis and Cost Comparison Between Externalized Pyeloureteral and Standard Stents in 470 Consecutive Open Pyeloplasties
Luis H. Braga,Armando J. Lorenzo,Walid A. Farhat,Darius J. Bägli,Antoine E. Khoury,Joao L. Pippi Salle +5 more
TL;DR: The 2 ureteral stents are equivalent in regard to overall complication and success rates after pyeloplasty, however, Salle intraoperative pyELoplasty stent insertion was associated with a Canadian $565 cost decrease per patient and most importantly the preclusion of a second general anesthesia for catheter removal.
