    Abstract Urinary stone disease continues to be a public health problem with growing incidence and recurrences. Recurrence is nearly detected in 50% of the patients within 5 years after the first episode. However, stone recurrence rates can be reduced to a certain extent. The American Urological Association (AUA) and the European Urological Association (EAU) guidelines advice dietary, fluid intake, and medical treatment to prevent or minimize stone recurrence. However, studies have shown that compliance to dietary and fluid intake recommendations is low. Beside this, nutritional evaluation of the patients is sufficient. Using food frequency questionnaires (FFQs), 24 h recall methods (short, individual-oriented, and easily applicable) or mobile apps can be used. In addition, cooperation with registered dietitians (RD) and planning tailored dietary programmes may have positive effect on compliance. Providers who give dietary advices should improve their knowledge about the topic and communication skills to create a patient-provider trust relationship. Simplifying the advices (shorter lists, applicable advices), spending more time, and giving education until being sure for patients' understanding with regular remindings may improve adherence. Moreover, patients increased awareness and knowledge about dietary advices are beneficial. Smart devices for fluid uptake or urine pH monitoring, mobile apps or web-based portals, and telemedicine applications can be used to maintain the compliance on dietary advices. Compliance with dietary modifications and fluid intake recommendations can be well achieved by individualized evaluation/close follow-up and the elimination of the problems limiting the patient compliance.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The incidence of urolithiasis has shown a prominent increase in the last two to three decades and evidence-based data have clearly indicated the certain role of obesity and overweight in both children and adults. As a certain component of metabolic syndrome, 'obesity' has been found to have a significant impact on the urinary metabolic risk factors which may be important in stone formation. In this present review article, we aimed to evaluate the possible association between obesity and urolithiasis and related risk factors. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of stone disease in obese cases will be discussed in detail.
    Recent findings: The possible influence of overweight/obesity on the metabolic stone-forming risk factors has been subjected to several studies which in turn well demonstrated the increased risk of stone formation in this population. Although the exact underlying mechanisms are still to be outlined, some certain pathogenetic factors, namely, changes in urinary pH and increased excretion of some urinary stone components have been well demonstrated. Given this increased risk status, these cases require a more comprehensive workup for urolithiasis. Appropriate metabolic evaluation-based medical therapy alongside dietary recommendations will be effective in preventing stone formation.
    Summary: Patients suffering from obesity problem have particular risk factors for urolithiasis when compared with their normal-weight counterparts. All efforts should be taken to increase the awareness of this problem and necessary precautions with well-planned treatment plan are the main tasks for urologists.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the metabolic and clinical characteristics of adult cases with stone disease from a regional part of Turkey.
    Methods: The study included 2348 adult patients with sonography and/or computed tomography-proven urinary stones. All cases were given a questionnaire about the epidemiological features of urolithiasis. Aside from the type and severity of stoneforming risk factors, both patient (age, gender, BMI, associated comorbidities, first onset of stone disease, positive family history, educational level) and stone-related (size, number, location, chemical composition, previous stone attacks) factors have been thoroughly assessed. The data were evaluated in multiple aspects to outline the epidemiological features.
    Results: The overall mean age value of the cases was 43.3 years, and the M/F ratio was 1.34. The first onset of the disease was found to vary between 15-57 years, with a mean value of 32.4 years. While most of the stones were located in kidney and ureter, calcium-containing stones constituted the most common type (CaOx 69%, CaOxPO4 7%). More than 42% of the cases suffered from multiple stone attacks; positive family history was present in 31.6%. Among the associated comorbidities, hypertension was the most common pathology (45.8%), and the BMI index value was >30 in 31.3% of the cases. 57.7% of the patients had just one stone attack, and 42.2% had recurrent stone formation.
    Conclusions: Our findings clearly show that important implications may be extracted from epidemiologic data acquired from local scale research to implement an effective preventative program and closely monitor the patients.

    Abstract Objective: Pediatric urolithiasis has been more common over the past 20 years, and urologists have unique challenges in managing it surgically because this particular demographic is recognized as one of the high-risk categories for stone recurrence. Given this reality, care focuses on maintaining renal function, achieving total stone-free status, and most importantly avoiding stone recurrences. In this presented article, we aimed to make a comprehensive review of the current minimally invasive treatment of pediatric kidney stone disease.
    Methods: We evaluated the results of 74 studies following a comprehensive PubMed search till February 2023. This article was written by making use of current urology guidelines.
    Results: Considering the reported occurrence of metabolic issues in up to 50% of cases in addition to the anatomic anomalies (about 30% of cases), the treatment of pediatric urolithiasis necessitates a full metabolic and urological examination on an individual basis. Timely management of metabolic imbalances and obstructive diseases is necessary. In addition to encouraging proper fluid consumption, it is advisable to improve urine volume and consider using medical therapeutics to raise urinary citrate levels. The location, content, and size of the stone(s), the morphology of the collecting system, the presence of urinary tract infection, as well as the presence of any obstruction, should all be taken into consideration while deciding on the best surgical procedure.
    Conclusion: All modern endourological methods are now used in the safe and efficient care of pediatric urolithiasis as a consequence of the obvious advancements in instrument technology and expanding expertise derived from adult patients. Other minimally invasive procedures, such as ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy, require more expertise and can be successfully applied with careful management for an excellent stone-free rate with minimal morbidity. Of these procedures, shock wave lithotripsy is still the first choice in the majority of cases with upper tract calculi. Open surgery will still be the therapy of choice for pediatric patients with complicated and big stones as well as anatomical anomalies.

    Abstract To evaluate the optimal duration of Medical Expulsive Therapy (MET) application for distal ureteric stones on a time period based manner. 89 patients with 5-10 mm distal ureter stones received tamsulosin (0.4 mg) for MET and diclofenac sodium (75 mg) for analgesia. Patients were evaluated once a week for 4 weeks. Radiologic stone passage was evaluated by kidney ureter bladder (KUB) and ultasonography where non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) was also performed if needed. While 23 cases (28.4%) were SF after first week, 23 were SF (28.4%) after 2 weeks, 9 cases (11.1%) after 3 and lastly 7 cases (8.6%) became SF after four weeks. Nineteen (23.5%) cases were not SF after 4 weeks. A positive relationship was found between the time period elapsed for stone passage and ureteral wall thickness (UWT) along with the degree of hydronephrosis. In addition, mean number of renal colics and emergency department (ED) visits were found to be higher in patients passing stones in the 4th week along with the ones who could not despite MET. SFR for distal ureteric stones sizing 5-10 mm was higher within the first 3 weeks under MET application. Thus, waiting for a longer period of time may result in increased analgesic and unnecessary MET treatment with increased risk of emergency department visits and additional costs as well. We believe that other options could be considered in such cases who are not SF at the end of the first 3 weeks.
