ObjectiveTo evaluate perspectives of urologists viewing live case demonstrations (LCD) and taped case demonstrations (TCD).
MethodA 15‐question anonymous survey was distributed to attendees of the live surgery session at the American Urological Association 2012 national meeting (Atlanta) and the second International Challenges in Endourology meeting (Paris).
ResultsOf 1000 surveys distributed,...
To, first, propose a novel scoring system to standardize reporting for percutaneous nephrolithotomy because the instruments currently available to predict the percutaneous nephrolithotomy outcomes are cumbersome, not validated, and of limited clinical utility; and, second, assess and predict the stone-free rates and perioperative parameters applying S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry.Five reproducible variables...
The R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry is a standardized scoring system that quantifies the complexity of kidney tumors. We evaluated our experience with laparoscopic cryoablation and determined the ability of nephrometry to predict complications. We reviewed the records of all patients who underwent laparoscopic cryoablation from July 2005 to February 2010 at 3 institutions. The composite R.E.N.A.L. score...
