Abstract
PURPOSE To compare different treatment approaches in patients with failed ureteral access sheath placement during first flexible ureterorenoscopy (f-URS) session. METHODS Patients with kidney stones measuring 1-2 cm, presented to our urology clinic between September 2020 and September 2021, were included in the study for evaluation. The study was designed prospectively (Clinical-Trials number NCT05911945). Patients were randomized into two groups, in case of a failed ureteral access sheath placement during the first f-URS session. In group 1, JJ stent was placed for dilation and second session of f-URS was planned. In group 2, mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) was performed in the same session. RESULTS Twenty-four patients were included in each group. Pre-operative demographic data and stone characteristics of the patients in each group were comparable. Operation time, fluoroscopy time, and hospital stay were significantly higher in the mini-PNL group. When SF-36 values were compared, physical function, pain, role limitation, and general health value scores were improved in both groups after treatment. The improvement in physical function and pain parameters was statistically significant in the mPNL group. In patients with failed ureteral access sheath placement, placing a JJ stent for dilation and postponing f-URS for 4-6 weeks provides the advantages of low hospitalization time for each admission, shorter fluoroscopy and operation time. CONCLUSIONS Performing mPNL in the same session, results in better improvements in SF-36 parameters such as pain and physical function compared to f-URS. The success and complication rates of the two procedures were comparable.

Abstract
Patients undergo Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for the resolution of pain, but at times, other symptoms such as hematuria, dysuria, nausea, emotional distress, and anxiety are also the presenting symptoms. While pain resolution after successful surgery is generally the focus, the resolution rate of other symptoms after surgery is not described. Our study aims to determine the efficacy of PCNL for the resolution of other symptoms. Patients aged > 18 years who underwent PCNL from September 2019 to 2021 were interviewed face-to-face and asked questions regarding their symptoms before and 3 months after the surgery. Their response was noted on an 11-point Numerical-Rating-Scale (NRS) of 0-10. The primary outcome was symptom resolution rate at 3 months after PCNL. The secondary outcomes were rate of resolution of gross hematuria, dysuria, anorexia and nausea, emotional distress and anxiety, work interference, and daily routine activities. Only patients who had complete stone clearance in a single sitting were included. Of the total 110 patients, almost half (45.45%) of the patients reported having one or more symptoms at or after 3 months of surgery. The reduction in proportion of patients and mean difference in preoperative and postoperative NRS scores of symptoms were statistically significant. Symptoms that persisted were mild and posed slight discomfort to the patient. Complete resolution of all the symptoms may not be achieved even in patients who have complete clearance after PCNL, and a few symptoms can persist, however, only mild. Appropriate preoperative counselling of the patients is, therefore, essential.

Abstract
PURPOSE Based on the current trend of miniaturization of instruments used in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), it is necessary to compare different PCNL modalities regarding their access sheath size used. Thus, the safety and efficacy among standard, mini and ultra-mini PCNL (s-PCNL, m-PCNL, um-PCNL) were compared. METHODS We performed a prospective, non-randomized trial between January 2018 and July 2020. Patients with stones classified as Guy's stone score grade I were included. The set-up for s-PCNL and m-PCNL included a 30 Fr and 22 Fr percutaneous tract, respectively. In both set-ups, an ultrasonic/ballistic lithotripter was utilized. In the case of um-PCNL, a 12 Fr percutaneous tract was established. A high-power laser was used for lithotripsy. Hemoglobin drop, complication rate, length of hospital stay (LOS), stone-free rate (SFR) and operation time were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 84 patients, 28 patients per method, were evaluated. Hemoglobin drop was higher in the s-PCNL group when compared to m-PCNL (p = 0.008) and um-PCNL groups (p < 0.001), while um-PCNL group had the slightest hemoglobin drop. LOS was similar between s-PCNL group and m-PCNL group, but um-PCNL group required shorter hospital stay than the other two modalities (p < 0.001). The complication and transfusion rates as well as SFR did not differ between groups. Operation time in the um-PCNL set-up was longer compared to s-PCNL (p < 0.001) and m-PCNL (p = 0.011), whereas s-PCNL and m-PCNL did not differ significantly. CONCLUSION m-PCNL showed less hemoglobin drop, but similar operation time and SFR when compared to s-PCNL. um-PCNL showed even less hemoglobin drop, but the operation time was longer compared to the two other modalities.

Abstract
The experience of patients who choose observation or surgery for kidney stones has not been well established. We compared these patients using qualitative interviews, the Wisconsin Quality of Life questionnaire (WISQOL), and the Cambridge Renal Stone Patient Reported Outcome Measure (CReSP). Adult patients with upper tract urinary calculi for whom observation or intervention were options underwent qualitative interviews at baseline and at 2 months. WISQOL and CReSP were administered at baseline, and at 6–16 weeks post operatively if surgery was selected. Comparisons in patient experiences and quality of life measures were performed between groups. Among 15 patients who opted for surgery and 10 patients who opted for observation, we identified major themes in patient experiences related to context, health care episodes, patient responses, and perceived outcomes. A conceptual framework for the domains of patient experience during kidney stone disease was developed, which can be used by clinicians and patients to shape discussion. Baseline standardized WISQOL and CReSP scores were comparable between groups. In the surgery group, both WISQOL and CReSP scores improved after surgery (WISQOL 58 to 83, higher is better, p = 0.003; CReSP 31 to 23, lower is better, p = 0.009). Patients who underwent surgery for kidney stones reported improvements in quality of life after treatment via WISQOL and CReSP. A conceptual framework was developed for the patient experience of kidney stones which provides a common language for patients and clinicians.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of our study was to compare the effects on quality of life (QoL) and stone-free rate (SFR) of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in patients with renal stones 2-4cm. Materials and methods: A total of 102 patients with renal pelvis stones were enrolled in this prospective controlled study, of which 52 were performed RIRS and 50 with PNL. The QoL was evaluated by using Short From-36 pre- and post-operatively. Also, the surgical data of all patients during and after the operations were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The mean age, body mass index, stone size and density of the patients in the 2 groups were statistically similar (p > 0.05). The SFR of PNL and RIRS were found 94% (47/50) and 73% (38/52), respectively (p < 0.01). There were no statistically differences between operation times, minor complication rates and Short From-36 scores of the 2 groups. Hospitalization times were 1.13 ± 0.34days for RIRS and 2.9 ± 5.7days for PNL (p < 0.05). While the blood transfusion rate of PNL group was 8% (4/50), none patient was made blood transfusion in RIRS. Conclusions: The results of our study show that the blood transfusion rates and hospitalization times of RIRS group are significantly lower than PNL for management of renal pelvis stone 2-4cm. Despite these advantages of RIRS, the SFR is significantly lower than PNL for these stones. The effects on QoL of the both interventions before and after surgery were similar.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Retrograde ureteroscopy (URS), intra-renal surgery (RIRS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) represent routine interventions for the treatment of ureteral and renal stones, although at times associated with serious adverse events. Of note, the evidence on perioperative complications after these procedures remains sparse and controversial. Moreover, there is a lack of standardized reporting of adverse events using uniform systems. The aim of the present study was to systematically review of the available evidence on URS/RIRS and PCNL for the surgical treatment of urinary stone, assessing the incidence of intra- and postoperative events, classified according to the modified Clavien-Dindo scale. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic review of the literature was performed according to PRISMA recommendations and was conducted on intra- and postoperative complications, as well as on their management, following URS, RIRS and PCNL procedures, particularly focusing on major events. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Overall, 26 studies (13 on URS/RIRS and 11 on PCNL) met the inclusion criteria and were evaluated. The highest intraoperative complication rate was 11.5% and 8.5% for RIRS and PCNL, respectively. Major complication rate following URS/RIRS and PCNL ranged between 0.3-31.7% and 2-17.1%, respectively. The most frequent adverse events were obstructive pyelonephritis or urinary leakage requiring the placement of a double J stent or a drainage. Among PCNLs series, life-threatening adverse events have also been reported, including bleeding requiring renal angioembolization and urothorax. CONCLUSIONS Despite the inclusion of series using a standardized reporting system, the complication rate after URS/RIRS/PCNL remains extensively heterogeneous in the literature; in addition, a non-negligible proportion of studies did not characterize the adverse events nor report the actual management strategy to solve them. Future research is needed to standardize the classification and reporting of surgical complications after endourological procedures (taking into consideration the surgeon's experience and skills), aiming to improve patient counseling and potentially the strategy for their prevention.

Abstract
The effects of treatment modalities such as retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were determined in patients with renal stones between 10 and 20 mm. A total of 120 patients were included in the study and prospectively randomized to RIRS or SWL group. A total of 39 patients experienced treatment failure and finally 81 patients (45 patients in the RIRS group, 36 patients in the SWL group) were analyzed for HRQoL. SF-36 survey was used to determine HRQoL pre-operatively, post-operative day 1 and 1 month. The patient and stone characteristics such as age, gender, stone size, grade of hydronephrosis and body mass index were similar between the two groups. At post-operative day 1, the RIRS group was associated with lower scores of role functioning/physical (p = 0.008), role functioning/emotional (p = 0.047) energy/fatigue (p = 0.011), social functioning (p = 0.003) and pain (p = 0.003) when compared to the SWL group. At post-operative 1 month, only pain and emotional well-being scores (p = 0.012 and p = 0.011, respectively) in the RIRS group were statistically lower according to the SWL group. In our study, patients in the SWL group showed more favorable HRQoL scores when compared to the patients in the RIRS group in short-term follow-up.

Abstract
Purpose Although cure rate and efficacy of treatment for urinary stone disease have been improved, clinicians have been indifferent to the quality of life (QoL) of stone patients in Korea. The objective of this study was to develop a Korean version of Wisconsin questionnaire about quality of life questionnaire (K-WISQOL) of stone patients for use in Korea. Methods Linguistic validation was permitted for translation by its developers. Three bilingual nonspecialists and 11 panels who were actively involved in treating urinary stone patients performed the translation and linguistic validations. A trained interviewer and 5 Korean patients carried out cognitive debriefing. Results Noun words such as “energy” and “responsibilities” were very difficult to translate to Korean. They were substituted by more comprehensive words. After backward translation, translated sentences showed a good agreement with the original WISQOL. During backward translation and the second reconciliation, previously translated Korean version was revised in 5 sentences. In the cognitive debriefing process, all 5 patients thought that these questions explained the patient’s situation well. Most of these respondents answered that explanatory notes of questionnaire were well written and the format of the questionnaire was easy to follow. Conclusions The present study demonstrated that, despite language differences, translation and linguistic validation of the K-WISQOL were successfully performed. This K-WISQOL could be useful tools for treatment plan and patient care.

Abstract
The present study reports the case of a 39-year old male patient with a recurrent waist tumor that occurred subsequent to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The patient initially underwent PCNL for the management of right calculus of the kidney. Six years later, the patient underwent local mass resection for a tumor at the waist, which was subsequently diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. However, seven months subsequent to local resection, the patient presented to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya Medical School with a one-month history of a recurrent tumor located at the right waist. Physical examination identified no visible skin lesions; however, a palpable hard nodule was present over the right waist. Imaging studies, consisting of computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-CT, indicated no additional metastases. Therefore, the patient underwent local mass resection of the waist tumor. Subsequent histological examination determined a diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma. Considering the previously conducted PCNL surgery and the diagnosis, it is proposed that the recurrent waist tumor originated from renal cell carcinoma (RCC), also termed renal adenocarcinoma. However, no evidence of the original RCC tumor was identified. Therefore, the selection of an effective treatment strategy was challenging.
