RESUMO
Objective To discuss the efficacy of the flexible ureteroscopy combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy for kidney calculi with HIV positive patients.Methods From May 2015 to May 2016,47 cases of patients with renal calculi were treated by the flexible ureteroscopy combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy in our hospital.There were 29 cases male,18 cases female,aged from 22 to 56 years old,average 39 years.There were 38 cases with single stone,9 cases with multiple stones.There were 9 cases with stones on both sides.Flexible ureteroscopy channel sheath was used in surgery.Stones were fragmented by Holmium laser.During one-month follow-up after surgery,stone removal and stone free rate were recorded.Residual stones were re-treated with a secondary lithotripsy or ESWL.Results The flexible ureteroscopy channel sheath was indwelled successfully in all the cases.All stones were detected.The average operation time was 63min (range,42-141min) and the median postoperative stay was 4.5days (range,2-16 d).Among the 47 patients,41 patients underwent first-stage lithotripsy,6 patients underwent second-stage ESWL after lithotripsy,and 1 patient underwent third-stage lithotripsy.The one-month stone free rate was 87.2％ (41/47).The total stone free rate was 97.9％ (46/47) after second-stage lithotripsy.Postoperative fever occurred in 4 cases after lithotripsy.No blood transfusion,systemic infection,ureteral perforation,or ureteral avulsion occurred.The total complication rate was 8.5％ (4/47).The mean number of CD4 +T lymphocytes before lithotripsy was 402/μl,and was 410/μl 3 days after lithotripsy.There was no Statistical differences between them.Conclusions Flexible ureteroscopy combined Holmium laserlithotripsy could be a safe and effective treatment for kidney calculi patients with HIV/AIDS positive.
