Comprehensive surgical strategy for incarcerated ureteral calculi in the context of double renal pelvis malformations: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceManaging incarcerated ureteral calculi is crucial to prevent obstructive uropathy, renal dysfunction, and urosepsis. Double ureteral malformations with complex calculi pose challenges due to anatomical variations, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old female with flank pain and hydronephrosis was diagnosed with double renal pelvis malformations and impacted ureteral calculi. A staged approach was used: laparoscopy corrected ureteral malformations, followed by flexible ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. Complete calculus clearance was confirmed intraoperatively and postoperatively. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Double ureteral malformations complicate endoscopic navigation, requiring combined laparoscopic correction and lithotripsy. Challenges included limited space and risk of iatrogenic injury. Holmium laser (0.8-1.2 J) enabled precise fragmentation while preserving mucosa. Preoperative 3D CT urography was vital for surgical planning.
conclusionAt 6-month follow-up, the patient had patent ureteral drainage, no calculus recurrence, and stable renal function. Integrated laparoscopy-endoscopy strategies achieved a 100 % calculus-free rate with minimal complications, emphasizing the importance of image-guided, patient-specific management in complex urolithiasis.
