Themes introduction


In today’s newsletter we address three important issues in stone management. The first is the optimal treatment of lower pole stones of less than 2 cm, the gray area in which ESWL, RIRS, and PCNL can be an option.

The second topic is the relationship between tea and coffee consumption and the risk of urinary stones, with a focus on practical recommendations to help patients avoid stone formation and recurrences.

Finally, we will discuss the features of the new thulium fiber laser that was recently launched as a promising lithotripsy device.

I hope that this bulletin offers guidance that will assist in the better treatment of our patients.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the three different treatment options for lower pole stones of less than 2 cm – ESWL, RIRS, and PCNL – with the objective of identifying which represents the most appropriate approach.

Patients very commonly ask endourologists about the nature of the relationship between the consumption of coffee and tea and stones, with the intention of avoiding urolithiasis precursors.

Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) laser is the most widely used laser in urology being the gold-standard for laser lithotripsy as it can treat all kinds of kidney stones. Recently the new thulium fiber laser (TFL) has been launched to compete with Ho:YAG.
