Research

Includes the following aspects of upper urinary tract disorders:

• Cryoablation of kidney tumors.
• Diagnosis and minimally invasive management of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma.
• Evaluation of ureteropelvic junction obstruction with endoluminal ultrasound as well as treatment using minimally invasive techniques.
• Development of new techniques in laparoscopic urological surgery.
• Minimally invasive management of stone disease.
• Investigation of mechanisms responsible for stone fragmentation from extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
• The role of anatomic factors in stone clearance following ESWL.
• Comparison of irrigating fluids during TURP.
• Endoluminal ultrasound in the evaluation of PUJ obstruction. Staging of upper tract transitional cell carcinoma using endoluminal ultrasound.
• The quality of life of patients with urinary stone disease, especially in patients requiring ureteral stents.
