Imaging After Ureteroscopy: Practice Patterns, Patient Adherence and Impact on Subsequent Management in an Urban Academic Hospital System

Kavita Gupta et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the practice patterns of post-ureteroscopy imaging, identified predictors of imaging order, type and completion, and analyzed the impact on patient management. It found that surgeons' years in practice and pre-operative hydronephrosis were the main predictive factors for ordering post-operative imaging. Among patients who completed imaging, 35.4% experienced a change in their management, with 25.9% requiring additional imaging and 9.5% undergoing a second, unplanned surgery.

Frequency and timing of emergency department visits and hospital admissions in stented patients following common stone procedures

Rohail Rashid Kazi et al.

Summary: This study examines the rates of emergency department (ED) visits and hospital admissions (HA) following urologic stone procedures. The findings show that 20% of patients have ED visits or HA within 120 days of the procedure, with most returning due to genitourinary complaints. Younger patients have the highest burden among the study cohort. Further research is needed to determine the causes and appropriate interventions for these unplanned visits.

Fellowship training in endourology: Impact on percutaneous nephrolithotomy access patterns

Jennifer Saluk et al.

Summary: A survey among urologists revealed that factors such as endourology fellowship training, experience with more than 50 cases during training, and personal preference play crucial roles in influencing whether urologists choose to obtain their own PCNL access. These factors also impact the annual case volume and outcomes of PCNL procedures.
