Overall stone-free rates after SWL treatment was found to be significantly lower in patients with the history of ORSS than in patients without, and this finding was significantly prominent for lower calix stones. We believe that retrograde intrarenal surgery or mini- /micro-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, despite its possible difficulties in accessing due to anatomical changes, might be a good alternative for SWL.
Piriformis syndrome (PS) is a syndrome consisting of symptoms that occur due to compression of the sciatic nerve at the level of the piriformis muscle (PM). The most commonly reported complaints (cardinal features) are radiation to the ipsilateral tight, buttock pain, and reproduction of pain on prolonged sitting. In this study, we report a 64 years old female case presented with peroneal neuropathy symptoms without gluteal pain and sciatica and treated using ultrasound-guided PM injection successfully.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
