RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of monitoring the renal pelvic pressure( RPP) and regulating the manual perfusion pressure in flexible ureteroscope holmium laser lithotripsy. Methods A total of 189 patients with upper urinary tract calculi treated by RIRS in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed from August 2014 to August 2017. The renal pelvic pressure was monitored during RIRS in 136 cases( monitored group) whereas no monitoring occurred in the rest 53 cases( unmonitored group) . The monitored group was divided into two sub-groups of 49 cases named high-pressure group(the cumulative time of renal pelvis pressure upon 40 cmH2O≥1 min) and 87 ca-ses named low-pressure group respectively. The morbidity of postoperative fever ( T≥38. 5℃) was evaluated statistically between monitored group and unmonitored group,meanwhile between high-pressure group and low-pressure group. Results Postoperative fever did not correlate to age,sex,involved kidney,and postoperative urinary tract infection. Whether renal pelvic pressure was monitored or not,infection calculi, duration of operation and whether the cumulative time of renal pelvis pressure upon 40cmH2O≥1 min contributed to postoperative fever. The rate of postoperative fever in unmonitored group was higher than monitored group while the same between high-pressure group and low-pres-sure group,with statistically significant difference(P<0. 05). Conclusion Monitoring the intraoperative RRP and regulating the manual perfusion pressure during RIRS has positive significance in postoperative recovery and contribute to reducing postoperative fever.
