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.
