Abstract

Recently, several scoring systems have been proposed to predict outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy, objectively and quantitatively assessing kidney calculi complexity using cross-sectional imaging. These scoring systems are promising new tools that can guide surgical decision making, predict surgical outcomes, counsel patients undergoing stone surgery, and improve standardized academic reporting in percutaneous kidney stone surgery. In this article, we review features of each of these systems, their similarities and differences, and their applicability in clinical practice and relevance in academic reporting.

Eine adjuvante Radiotherapie nach radikaler Prostata-Op. bringt den Betroffenen wahrscheinlich keinen Vorteil. Im Gegenteil: Durch die Bestrahlung steigt offenbar das Risiko für Harn- und Stuhlinkontinenz.

D-Mannose ohne Nutzen in der Prävention von HWI-Rezidiven

D-Mannose, eine Hoffnungsträgerin in der Rezidivprophylaxe von Harnwegsinfektionen, hat in einer Studie nicht mehr bewirken können als ein Placebo. Die Empfehlung zur Einnahme entfalle damit, so die Autoren.
