Background and Purpose:
Microperc using all-seeing needle is associated with reduce tract-related morbidity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness and safety of microperc in children.
Patients and Methods:
From July 2010 to August 2014, a total of 17 patients with renal stones underwent microperc at our institution. Renal access was achieved through 4.85-Fr (16 gauge) all-seeing needle under direct vision and fragmentation with 200 µm holmium:YAG laser fiber. The patient’s demographic data, operating time, hemoglobin drop, complications (Clavien-Dindo), and length of hospital stay were prospectively studied. A complete stone-free status or CIRF at 1 month was accepted as the criterion for final clinical success.
Results:
A total of 17 patients with a median age of 9 years were studied. The stone size ranged from 5.3mm to 24.9mm. The median operative time was 40 minutes. The median decrease in hemoglobin was 1.2 mg/dl. The stone-free rate at postoperative day 1 and 1st month was 82.4% and 88.2% respectively. The mean hospital stay was 56.4

The patient was monitored for postoperative complications. Ureteric catheter was removed along with Foley catheter in first post-operative day. DJ stent was removed after 4weeks. The patients were re-evaluated with KUB to assess the stone free rate at day 1 and 1-month follow up. Clearance was defined as no residual stone on KUB and ultrasound. All fragments less than 4 mm were considered clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRF).
The patient’s demographic data, stone characteristics, stone fragmentation method, intraoperative assessment of stone fragmentation, complications (Clavien-Dindo), operating time, hemoglobin drop and length of hospital stay were prospectively studied. A complete stone-free status or CIRF at 1 month was accepted as the criterion for final clinical success.

During my clinical preceptorship at New York Presbyterian Hospital, many patients that came into the hospital with urinary retention a catheter was inserted to determine the amount of urine in their bladder or post-void residual (PVR). Many patients later developed pain and a urinary tract infection or Community Acquired Infection secondary to frequent cauterization. Therefore, the gap identified was related to a knowledge deficit of the current practice that inserting a

Introduction The twentieth century was a period introducing many breakthroughs in medicine. Large part of the medical discoveries and newly developed procedures of the mentioned time are influencing the illness treatment even today. The role of this paper is not to make an extensive overview on those discoveries but to focus the attention on the changes that occurred in the field of surgery. Typical surgical procedure involves the incision of the body in order to treat desired part leading to a lot of pain, possible blood loss, infections, scars, and long convalescence. The consequences mentioned might occur in even higher degree if the considered case is internal surgery.
we discussed using a green stone and flatten bitting surface. During FB she was using the cotton pliers to retrieve wire clippings. Demonstrated how to keep the wire on the distal end cutter and explained why we want to refrain from using cotton pliers in mouth so we always have them to get into our drawers. After demonstrating to the patient how to wear rbs Discussed using
Combined with knowledge in human anatomy, surgical procedures, and the implementation of tools and technologies, they assessed progression of the surgical operation, anticipating every need to facilitate a surgeon’s performance of invasive therapeutic and diagnostic procedure while keeping a vigilant count of surgical instruments and sponges which is pivotal in preventing adverse event
The study population included 832 patients hospitalized in five different ICUs (Keten et al, 2014, 277). A hundred and one patients who developed 126 attacks of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) were accounted for in the study sample. Out of the 101 patients, 85 experienced at least one attack of CAUTI, 7 experienced two attacks of CAUTI, and 6 experienced three or more attacks of CAUTI. Out of the 101 patients who developed a CAUTI, 49 (48.5%) were female and 52 (51.5%) were male. About 54.5% of the patients were aged 65 years or older (Keten et al, 2014,
On assessment of his abdomen I noticed his lower pubic area was bulging outward, which looked very abnormal. I started to insert the Indwelling catheter and noticed that when it was fully inserted there was no urine return, but I was
This is a tough decision to make for a family member with the existing medical conditions like that of Mary's. Apparently, Mary was a very active person and self reliant in her younger days of life. However, as she aged, so did her vitality to recover from such an extensive procedure. Careful thought must be given to the fact that she has had a heart attack in the past and that she is diabetic before making this type of decision. Diabetic patients have an increased risk for problems during or after their surgery such as: infections, healing slower, and increased risk for heart

The hospital has been remarkably successful because of its ability to provide its patients a low cost, quality and quick surgery while administering an unforgettable experience and a comfortable environment to all. From the surgery techniques to the warm environment, the hospital’s success is due to a range of factors. It is physiologically attractive to patients, receiving surgery; they are also able to discuss about the receiving procedure with the previous patients to ultimately alleviate the level of anxieties. Additionally, Shouldice hospital has
These drains can be removed within one to several days. The incision may or may not have a dressing. If a dressing is used, most doctors will remove it within one to two days. There will be moderate pain with this operation, but it should be readily controlled with oral pain medication. Swelling and bruising around the operative site is common, but this resolves fairly quickly.
The 30-day hospital admission rate increased from 0.4% in 1996 to 0.9% in 2005. For the men who did not have cancer the hospital admission rate for urological complications within 30 days of the procedure was 781/41482, about 1.9%. The 30-day hospital admission rate increased from 1.0% in 1996 to 4.1% in 2005. The majority of the hospital admission, (72%), were related in some way to an infection.

Using LiquiGlide coated tubes, they would never need to remove or flush the drainage tube. One tube, one use, from start to finish. It makes it a faster and safer process. LiquiGlide can also be applied to the exterior of endoscopes or catheters to make them cleaner going in and out of the patient. It would also act as a lubricant to make insertion easier and more
