“…In the presence of intractable bleeding diathesis, pregnancy, active urinary tract infection or ortopedic deformity which will restrict appropriate required positioning of the patient PNL procedure is contraindicated. [15,16] In recent years many studies have been performed which investigated the accuracy, and reliability of videos in YouTube related to health issues. Even though data of these investigations are contradictory, everyone has arrived at a consensus which generally indicates that Internet sites as YouTube play an important role in the informing, and educating people.…”

Objective: Kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. With increasing awareness, a larger proportion of patients are seeking medical knowledge from the Internet. In present study, the features, reliability and efficacy of videos on YouTube related to the treatment of kidney stones were evaluated. Material and methods:In December 2014, YouTube was searched using keywords "nephrolithiasis"; "renal calculi"; "renal stones"; and "kidney stones" for videos uploaded containing relevant information about the disease. Only videos in Turkish were included in the study. Two physician viewers watched each video and classified them as useful, partially useful and useless according to European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines. The source, length, number of views, number of favourable opinions, and days since uploaded date of the all videos were evaluated.Results: A total of 600 videos were analysed The median length of videos was 6.7±10.4 (median: 3, IQR: 0.03-58) minutes . Each video was viewed at an average of 2368 (min: 11, max: 97133) times. Most of the videos (32.8%) were created by academicians and physicians. Nearly half (47.4%) of the videos were uploaded in 2014. The majority of the videos (62.5%) contained information for treatment. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureterorenoscopy were the most common treatment modalities (32.8% and 28.0%, respectively ) in these videos. A statistically significant difference was not detected between view numbers and source of videos (p= 0.87). However, there was a statistically significant difference between usefulness to the viewers and source of videos. Hospital -based videos were detected to be more useful (p= 0.000). Conclusion:As a result, videos that would be prepared in internet environment by professional individuals or organizations in a way which would attract attention and be easily comprehended by the public could contribute to the knowledge and education of our society about the stone disease which is commonly seen in our country.

“…One of the most important factors in selecting the optimal surgical procedure for the patient with nephrolithiasis is stone burden because it has been shown to strongly influence stone-free rate, need for auxillary procedures, and complication rate for some treatment modalities [28] . PCNL is recommended for the treatment of all stones greater than or equal to 2 cm [29] .…”

Recently, there has been a great advancement in technology for minimally invasive management of urinary stones.The epoch of open treatment modalities has passed and currently there are much less invasive treatment approaches, such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy, ureteroscopy, shockwave lithotripsy, and retrograde internal Surgery. Furthermore, advancement in imaging technics ensures substantial knowledge that permit physician to decide the most convenient treatment method for the patient. Thus, effective and rapid treatment of urinary tract stones is substantial for the preservation of the renal function. In this review, the effects of the treatment options for urinary stones on renal function have been reviewed.

“…Conservative, medical or surgical treatment modalities can be used in the management of urinary stone disease. PCNL has been the gold standard treatment option in large stones, and has lowered the rate of open surgery down to 2-5% due to its advantages, namely shorter hospitalization and convalescent periods, higher success rate, lower cost, and better cosmetic results [12,13]. Residual stone fragments may cause pain, infection, and obstruction in the urinary tract postoperatively as well as a need for re-operation; thus, stone-free rate is crucial in PCNL.…”
