Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify the predictors for the ancillary treatments after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for renal and upper ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2014 to January 2017, patients undergoing SWL using an electromagnetic lithotripter machine (Compact Delta; Dornier MedTech GmbH, Wessling, Germany) for renal and upper ureteral stones ≤ 20 mm were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent CT urography prior to SWL. The cohort was subdivided into three groups according to stone attenuation values in Hounsfield Units (HU). Group I; HU < 500 (n = 20), group II; HU 500-1000 (n = 51) and group III; HU ≥ 1000 (n = 180). The parameters included for multivariate analysis were stone size, location, multiplicity, stone attenuation value, number of shocks and stone clearance rate by 3 months. The ancillary treatments were ureteroscopy (URS), ureteral stenting and hospital readmission for pain or fever. RESULTS A total of 251 patients were included in the study. The overall SWL success rate was 92.4%. Mean stone size was 10.9 ± 2.1, 11.6 ± 3 and 11.4 ± 3.6 mm and mean stone attenuation values were 364 ± 125, 811 ± 154 and 1285 ± 171 HU for groups I, II and III respectively. The stone clearance rates by 3 months were 96%, 92% and 88.4% for groups I, II and III respectively. On subgroup analysis, group III required ancillary treatments in 70% of patients whereas group I, II, did not require any ancillary treatments. On multivariate analysis, stone multiplicity, stone location (lower calyceal stones) and HU were independent significant predictors for the need for ancillary treatments after SWL (p values < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with stone attenuation value (HU) > 1000, multiple stones and/or lower calyceal stones have higher risk to necessitate ancillary treatments after SWL. These patients would likely benefit from upfront endoscopic lithotripsy for treating symptomatic renal or upper ureteral stones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Purpose of this work is to compare the outcome of ureterorenoscopy (URS) with regard to stone-free rates (SFR) and complication rates (CR) in patients with different body mass index (BMI) scores for the treatment of kidney stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review of all patients with known BMI, who underwent URS for kidney stones between 2006 and 2012 at our institution, was performed (n = 556 patients). The SFR and CR of obese patients were compared to overweight and normal weight patients. RESULTS Mean age was 52.51 years and the average BMI 27.74 kg/m2. Of the patients, 34.2 % had normal weight (22.59 ± 1.91 kg/m2), 39.6 % were overweight (27.30 ± 1.42 kg/m2), and 26.3 % were obese (35.09 ± 5.93 kg/m2). The mean ASA score differed significantly between normal weight (1.99 ± 0.57), overweight (2.03 ± 0.62), and obese (2.22 ± 0.63) patients (p ≤ 0.036). The mean stone size was 8.51 ± 6.84 mm and the mean number of stones per patient 1.9 ± 2.41, whereby the differences between groups was not significant. There were no differences between the groups regarding the use of preoperative (94.8 %) and postoperative ureteral stents (60.3 %), the Ho:YAG laser (33.6 %), the use of flexible (16.2 %) or semirigid/flexible URS (59.4 %), and the mean operative time (52.04 ± 34.55 min). There were no differences in the SFR for the upper (90 %), mid (94.7 %), and lower pole (90.2 %), multiple location (68.6 %) or the total SFR (86.3 %). Total SFR of 95.7, 88.4, and 73.7 % for urinary calculi < 5 mm, 5-9 mm, and ≥ 10 mm, respectively, were found and the differences between the patient groups was not significant. The CR was 10.4 % (differences between the patient groups not significant). CONCLUSION URS is an appropriate treatment for renal stones with high SFR and low CR regardless of patient's BMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze results and morbidity after flexible ureterorenoscopy (fURS) in patients with a body mass index (BMI)>30 kg/m² and to compare with results obtained in a large cohort of non-obese patients. METHODS We conducted a retrospective monocenter study including all fURS for urinary lithiasis performed in our institution between January 2004 and December 2010. During the study period, 497 procedures were performed. Twenty-three had to be excluded because of missing data on BMI. Thus, a total of 474 procedures were included in the final analysis, 93 for obese patients (OP) and 381 for non-obese patients (NOP). Characteristics of the patients, stones and procedures were analyzed. Success was defined as clear imaging (completely stone-free) on renal tomography and ultrasonography. RESULTS Mean BMI was 33.5 ± 0.3 in OP vs 23.9 ± 0.1 kg/m² in NOP (P<0.0001). Mean stone size, location, and composition were not significantly different between groups. Technical aspects (operative time, ureteral dilatation, access sheath, monobloc extraction) were also similar in OP and NOP. The immediate (63.5% for OP vs 66.1% in NOP, P=0.62) and follow-up (65.1% for OP vs 71% in NOP, P=0.26) stone-free rate were not significantly different between the groups. For stone size<1cm, SFR raised to 77% in OP vs 83% in NOP (P=0.28). The rate of minor complications Clavien II was similar in OP (7.5%) and NOP (12%). No major complication (Clavien III or IV) was observed. CONCLUSION fURS is a safe and efficient option for the management of urinary lithiasis in obese patients.

Abstract
AIM Although the management of urinary stones in obese patients is a challenge and the impact of the patient-related parameter has been well studied in adults: No study has evaluated the possible impact of obesity in terms of body mass index related SWL success in pediatric population. In this present study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of SWL in obese children in a comparative manner with the cases in normal BMI value limits. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 66 children (45 boys and 21 girls, M/F:2.1) with renal calculi were treated with SWL. Depending on the BMI values, the children were divided into two groups as; Group 1 (n:50) children with normal BMI values (mean: 16.1) and Group 2 (n:16) obese children with higher BMI values (mean: 20.3). The success rates, complications, and need for auxiliary procedures after SWL were evaluated between two groups of patients in a comparative manner. While majority of the cases were treated under general anesthesia (n:61), a limited number of cases were treated under neurolept anesthesia with PiezoLith 3000 (Richard Wolf GmbH) lithotripter. Evaluation of efficiency was based on radiological examinations using abdominal radiography, ultrasonography, or CT scan when needed. RESULTS Both the mean age and mean stone size values were similar in both groups. While the mean age was 62 months (24-148) in Group 1, this value was 68 months (24-137) in Group 2. Again mean stone size was 10.26 mm(5-25 mm) in Group 1 and 10.12 mm (6-20 mm) in Group 2. The mean number of SWL sessions and the number of SW's applied were similar in both groups (2.06 vs. 2.0 and 1975 vs. 1835, respectively). Evaluation of success rates after 3-months again did not show any statistically significant difference with respect to stone-free rates in both groups (47/50-94 %, 16/16-100 %, respectively). However, 3 children in Group 1 did show residual fragments (≤3 mm) which were followed closely with regular visits without any problem. In another 3 cases, again fragments migrated to involved ureter after lithotripsy and these fragments were successfully treated in situ with further SWL. With respect to auxiliary procedures, there was no specific procedure has been done in Group 2, but 3 cases did undergo further SWL for ureteral stones in Group 1. Stone location did not affect the final outcome of the procedure in a significant manner in both groups. Lastly, no serious complication could be demonstrated in both groups either during or after SWL procedures. CONCLUSIONS In the light of the successful treatment outcomes with limited need for auxiliary procedures in both groups, we may say that obesity might not be a disadvantage for SWL in children with renal stones.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The flexible ureterorenoscopy coupled with photovaporisation LASER (USSR-L) for the treatment of kidney kidney is a modern tool whose place is under evaluation. METHODS Its place has been assessed in France in 2010 by the Committee of urolithiasis of the French Association of Urology (CLAFU). A practice survey among 27 experts concerned the following decision criteria: comorbid patient's supposed nature of the calculation, anatomy of the urinary tract of the patient. This investigation has been proposed to calculate the size not exceeding 20mm, for a calculation of size greater than 20mm and for multiple calculations kidney. RESULTS Fourteen experts responded. The criteria for the USSR-The first line were: morbid obesity (BMI>30), anticoagulation or anti platelet aggregation, calculations Hard (UH>1000, cystine stones), calculations within diverticular caliceal calculations below, the failure of a first treatment or the wish of the patient. CONCLUSION The URS-SL was a first-line treatment validated regardless of size and number of kidney stones, when ESWL and PCNL were contraindicated or when their predictable results were poor (hard stones/morbid obesity/lower pole stones) or when stone access is difficult (intradiverticular). It was also the treatment of choice after the failure of a first treatment (ESWL/PCNL).

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to analyze results and morbidity after flexible ureterorenoscopy in patients with a body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m(2) and to compare with results obtained in a large cohort of nonobese patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study including all flexible ureterorenoscopy performed for stone retrieval in our institution between January 2004 and December 2008. During the study period, 224 procedures were performed, of which 18 had to be excluded because of missing BMI data. Thus, a total of 206 procedures were included in the final analysis (34 in 29 obese patients, 172 in 149 nonobese patients). Characteristics of the patients (age, BMI, previous treatment), stones (nature, location, number), and procedures (operating time, morbidity, outcome) were analyzed. Success was defined as clear imaging (completely stone free) on renal tomography and ultrasonography at 1, 3, and 6 months follow-up. RESULTS Mean BMI was 34±0.6 kg/m(2) in obese patients (OP) and 24±0.2 kg/m(2) in nonobese patients (NOP). Mean stone size, location, and composition were not significantly different between groups. Operative time was also similar in OP and NOP (102.5±6.1 min vs 103±3.4 min, P=NS). The rate of minor complications (fever, hematuria, flank pain) was similar in OP (11.8%) and NOP (11.4%). No major complication necessitating prolonged hospital stay or new surgical procedure was observed. The overall stone-free rate was not significantly different between OP (79.4%) and NOP (70%). CONCLUSION Flexible ureterorenoscopy is an appropriate treatment for use in obese patients and achieves excellent stone-free rates with low morbidity.
