The History of Urinary Stones: In Parallel with Civilization

“…This suggested that Sarva Noi Linga Chenduram might have moderate diuretic effect. Following ethylene glycol administration the excretion of calcium, oxalate, phosphate and protein were found to be increased in lithiatic group while in standard, test groups these levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01).The results were shown in the bar diagram (1)(2)(3)(4) On contrary to this the magnesium level was decreased in lithiatic group while in standard and Sarva noi linga chendooram treated groups those levels were increased significantly (P<0.01). The serum creatinine levels of Sarva noi linga chendooram treated rats restored to normal limits and the creatinine clearance was also found to be improved.…”

“…Treatment of urolithiasis from ESWL to now PCNL has now progressively moved to RIRS as the preferred minimally invasive technique in stones up to 2 cm as reported in European Association of Urology guidelines. 11,12 With continuously improving technology such as scope deflection, better optics and pulse modulated lasers we are able to offer safe and efficacious flexible ureteroscopy as first line intervention for kidney stones to children and adults. [13][14][15][16][17] This study had an overall complication rate of 18.7% in the sitting group and 11.0% in the standing group, which is in keeping with the previously published ranges of complications associated with RIRS 12,18,19 at 9% to 25%.…”

All the complications in our study were Clavien-Dindo (CD) 1-2 only, thereby inferring that no repeat interventions were required in the first 30 days postoperatively nor did any patients require intensive care unit (ICU) support.…”

“…In summary, as an improved minimally invasive surgery, percutaneous holmium laser lithotripsy of the bladder calculi has the characteristics of clear surgical field, high stone removal efficiency, less trauma [30], low-pressure intravesical instillation, low incidence of collateral injury and infection, which is suitable for the cases with lower urinary tract obstruction diseases, such as urethral stricture, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and bladder neck contracture. Besides, it is also suitable for cases with difficult lithotomy position placement caused by combined pelvic joint diseases, such as paraplegia or ankylosing spondylitis with hip joint involved and limited hip joint activity after femoral neck fracture.…”
