ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of the percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( PCNL) in the manage-ment of complicated upper ureteric calculi , compared with retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy ( RLU ) . Methods Seventy-one cases with complicated upper ureteric calculi were retrospectively investigated ( PCNL group 23 cases,RLU group 29 cases).Clinical data including operation time ,stone free rate and the surgical complications were statistically analyzed .Results All the operations were successful in all 52 cases.Compared with the RLU group,the PCNL group had a significant shorter operation time [(45.12 ±11.56)min vs (82.03 ±12.45)min,t=10.13,P<0.01],and significant difference were detected .A week after the operation,the PCNL group showed a stone free rate of 95.6%(22/23) while the RLU group 100.0%(29/29),and no significant difference were detec-ted.No significant complications ,such as intraoperative or postoperative bleeding and damage to surrounding organs , were detected.The patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months(mean,9 months),and no recurrent stones or ureteral stricture were developed during the period .Conclusion Both PCNL and RLU are safe and effective for complicated upper ureteral calculi.The appropriate method depends on the patients′specific conditions,the unit equipments and the experience of operator .
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect and safety of intravesical perfusion of theprubicin ( THP) on postoperative recurrence of normuscle invasive bladder cancer .Methods According to digital table , a total of 58 cases received bladder cancer surgery were randomly divided into observation group and control group .All patients were treated by TURBt surgery .Patients in observation group were treated by THP intravesical perfusion , while patients in control group were treated by intravesical perfusion of mitomycin ( MMC) .A 1-year follow-up was conduc-ted to evaluate the recurrence rate and the toxicity .Results The recurrence rate of observation group in the follow-up period was 10.3%,while the control group was 20.7%,the difference was significant (χ2 =13.880,P0.05).The incidence rate of Ⅱ-Ⅲgrade toxicity in the observation group was 6.8%,while the control group was 17.2%,the difference was significant (χ2 =16.960,P <0.05). Conclusion The THP intravesical perfusion can prevent postoperative recurrence of normuscle invasive bladder cancer,with less toxicity.THP is effective,safe and reliable.
