ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the application value of ultrasound-guided steel needle cross projection in percutaneous nephroscopy localization for clinical treatment. Methods From July 2015 to July 2017, we selected 307 cases of percutaneous nephrolithotomy with ultrasonic stereoscopic precision positioning, stones are antipyroid stones, renal calculi multiple kidney stones, ESWL treatment failure, isolated kidney stones, renal pelvis and ureteral junction (UPJ) obstruction with stones, open stone surgery recurrence, upper ureteral stones and so on. Refer to preoperative CT and KUB+IVP to determine the puncture angle and the puncture of the calyx. Then, in the ultrasonic stereo precise positioning to select the first mark line and the second mark line, two-line intersection for the final puncture point, this point with the first mark point connection with the vertical axis of the kidney.Finally, at the end of the puncture point in the ultrasonic stereo precise probe under the guidance of the probe to adjust the target angle of the calyx puncture. Results Of the 307 patients, 281 were 1 ~ 2 successful punctures, 21 were 3 ~ 5 times. The total success rate was 98.4% (302/307). 5 cases of small incision were separated to the kidney weeks under the guidance of the fingers.1 case of bleeding after 2 days (by selective renal artery embolization to stop bleeding).The net rate of calculi was 95.8% (294/307) and 13 residual stones were less than 0.5 cm. Conclusions The application of ultrasonic stereoscopic accurate positioning in percutaneous nephroscopy is safe and effective, and the localization method is refined and easy to be promoted.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to assess the status of treatment of chronic prostatitis (CP) in Chinese men. A population-based cross-sectional survey was performed, in which 15 000 men aged between 15 and 60 years were randomly selected to receive a questionnaire designed to assess National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index (NIH-CPSI) status, therapeutic efficacy and 28 other items. A total of 12 743 men (84.95%) completed the questionnaire, of whom 1 071 (8.4%) were identified as having prostatitis-like symptoms and 517 (4.5%) were diagnosed with CP according to NIH-CPSI criteria and prostatitis-like symptomatology. Of the CP patients, 372 (65%) underwent long-term routine treatment 12 times per year. Additionally, 217 (72.8%) patients received antibiotic therapy and 215 (79.3%) men showed therapeutic effects. The treatment cost USD 1 151 (8 059 yuan) per person per year on average. Most CP patients received routine treatment, in most cases with antibiotics. Treatment was costly and most CP patients were not satisfied with its effectiveness. Antibacterial treatment might have been effective primarily in patients with bacterial disease.
