78 Do Anatomical Factors Pose a Significant Risk in the Formation of Lower Pole Stones? (original) (raw)

2007, European Urology Supplements

AI-generated Abstract

The paper investigates the influence of anatomical factors on the formation of lower pole kidney stones utilizing IVU images from 40 patients with a single stone. Key measurements, including infundibulopelvic angles and other anatomical dimensions, were compared between affected and normal kidneys. The results suggest that while the infundibulopelvic angle measured by Elbahnasy shows statistical significance in stone formation, other anatomical factors do not significantly predispose one side over the other for lower pole stone development. A call for standardized measurement methods and cut-off values is made to better understand the role of these anatomical factors.
