Strategies to Maximise Patient Comfort During ESWL
NephrolithiasisExtracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is an outpatient treatment for patients with intrarenal calculi. Standard of care involves offering oral analgesia prior to commencing the treatment. Most patients do not take the offered analgesia after the initial treatment. It has been suggested that distraction techniques may be equivalent to oral analgesia in improving tolerability of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy treatment. The use of distraction techniques also removes the potential side effects of mediation administration.
Robotic-assisted Percutaneous Access
Kidney StoneThis is a first-in-man (FIM) study to show feasibility and safety profile of the newly developed robotic device for percutaneous access in PCNL surgery. Patients with renal stone disease who had standard indications for prone PCNL were included in the study. PCNL was conducted with percutaneous puncture with the aid of robotic device with the use of intra-operative fluoroscopy. 5 patients were recruited in this pilot study over a period of 3 months. Punctures were performed by the board-qualified urologist.

Kidney CalculiThe data of the randomized controlled experimental research were collected at Atatürk University Health Application and Research Hospital Urology Clinics between November 2021 and May 2022. The study sample consisted of 122 patients (61 in the training group, 61 in the control group) who were selected by the simple random sampling method and met the research inclusion criteria.
Trial of Randomized Antibiotic Administration in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Kidney StonesThe Investigators objective is to compare the clinical efficacy of a single-day protocol with a short-course protocol for PCNL. The investigator hope is to reduce the use of possibly unnecessary prolonged antibiotic use, reduce hospital costs and prevent the further propagation of resistant microbes.
Use of Tolvaptan to Reduce Urinary Supersaturation: a Pilot Proof of Principle Study
NephrolithiasisCalcium Oxalate2 moreIn this study the investigators propose to use a daily dose of 45 mg (30 mg at 8 AM and 15 mg at 4 PM). This relatively small well-tolerated dose is likely to persistently increase urine volume and reduce urine supersaturation and to be well tolerated by patients with kidney stone disease and normal renal function (see below). The twice-daily (8 AM and 4 PM) regimen is designed to produce a maximal AVP inhibition on waking with a gradual fall-off of effect during the night. To this end, a higher dose is used in the morning, with a lower dose in the afternoon.

Renal CalculiRenal InsufficiencyThe main aim of the study is to investigate and compare the possible acute effect of standard PCNL, mini-PCNL and RIRS on renal function. Secondary aims are to investigate the efficacy (stone-free rate), safety (complication rate, long-term kidney function) and other parameters (operation, fluoroscopy and hospitalization time) concerning the 3 endourological operations (PCNL, mini- PCNL, RIRS) for the treatment of renal calculi.
