(2018)
Background: This study investigated the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) performed for morbid obesity on serum lipid levels of dyslipidemic and normolipidemic patients.
Methods: 141 patients who underwent ...
Skin-to-Stone Distance Has No Impact on Outcomes of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
(2014)
Objective: Skin-to-stone distance (SSD) is a stronger factor than body mass index in predicting the success of shock wave lithotripsy. We aimed to evaluate the impact of SSD on outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy ...
