Ureteroscopy-assisted Percutaneous Kidney Access Made Easy: First Clinical Expe...
Lima, E; Rodrigues, PL; Mota, P; Carvalho, N; Dias, E; Correia-Pinto, J; Autorino, R; Vilaça, JLBACKGROUND: Puncture of the renal collecting system represents a challenging step in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Limitations related to the use of standard fluoroscopic-based and ultrasound-based maneuvers have been recognized. OBJECTIVES: To describe the technique and early clinical outcomes of a novel navigation system for percutaneous kidney access. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a proo...

Collecting system percutaneous access using real-time tracking sensors: first p...
Rodrigues, PL; Vilaça, JL; Oliveira, C; Cicione, A; Rassweiler, J; Fonseca, J; Rodrigues, NF; Correia-Pinto, J; Lima, EPURPOSE: Precise needle puncture of the renal collecting system is a challenging and essential step for successful percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This works aims to evaluate the efficiency of a new real-time electromagnetic tracking (EMT) system for in vivo kidney puncture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six anesthetized female pigs underwent ureterorenoscopies in order to place a catheter with an EMT sensor into...
Variations of the soft tissue thicknesses external to the ribs in Pectus Excava...
Rodrigues, PL; Direito-Santos, B; Moreira, AH; Fonseca, JC; Pinho, AC; Rodrigues, NF; Henriques-Coelho, T; Correia-Pinto, J; Vilaça, JLBACKGROUND: Surgical repair of pectus excavatum (PE) has become more popular due to improvements in the minimally invasive Nuss procedure. The pre-surgical assessment of PE patients requires Computerized Tomography (CT), as the malformation characteristics vary from patient to patient. OBJECTIVE: This work aims to characterize soft tissue thickness (STT) external to the ribs among PE patients. It also presents ...
Kidney Targeting and Puncturing During Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Recent Adv...
Rodrigues, PL; Rodrigues, NF; Fonseca, J; Lima, E; Vilaça, JLBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Precise needle puncture of the kidney is a challenging and essential step for successful percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Many devices and surgical techniques have been developed to easily achieve suitable renal access. This article presents a critical review to address the methodologies and techniques for conducting kidney targeting and the puncture step during PCNL. Based on this s...
