Nephroscopy versus cystoscopy for bladder stones significantly lowers operative time: Study
China: Although advancements in contemporary antibiotic treatment and diet have lowered the prevalence of bladder stones (BSs) in recent decades, BSs remain the most prevalent kind of stone in the lower urinary tract, accounting for 5 percent of all urinary calculi. According to a new study, both nephroscopy and cystoscopy had good stone removal efficiency, low complication rates, and short hospitalizations. The mean urethral entry for big stone fragments varies depending on the treatment strategy.
This study was conducted by Liping Gou and the team with the objective to examine the safety and efficacy of nephroscopy and cystoscopy in transurethral cystolithotripsy (TUCL) for bladder stones. The findings of this study were published in BMC Surgery.
For the following research Up to January 2021, the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for research evaluating the effect of different kinds of endoscopes on patients undergoing TUCL. The PRISMA statement was followed throughout the search strategy and research selection procedure.
