Routine ureteral stenting after ureteroscopy for ureteral lithiasis: is it really necessary?
Routine catheter placement after ureteroscopic stone removal increased operative time and did not seem to improve patient outcome. The cost was 30% that without a stent.
Based on these findings, we propose that the RA pathway has an important and possible causative role in fibroid growth, as evidenced by the large number of genes with significantly altered expression in uterine fibroids that can be regulated by RA.
