RESUMO
Objective@#To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intelligent pressure control flexible ureteroscope for management of renal stones ≤2 cm.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 267 cases of renal calculi treated with flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy at Department of Urology, Ganzhou People′s Hospital from June 2015 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 129 male and 138 female patients, with a mean age of 51.2 years (ranging from 19 to 76 years). Among them, 145 patients underwent intelligent pressure control flexible ureteroscope (intelligent control group) and 122 patients underwent flexible ureteroscope ordinary (ordinary group). The t test, χ2 test or Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. The success rate of stone seeking, the stone free rates, the incidence of complications, the average operation time, the average hospital stay after operation were compared between the two groups.@*Results@#The average mean operative time of the patients with intelligent control group was (26.17 ± 8.64) minutes, significantly shorter than (47.23±18.35) minutes of the ordinary group (t=1.968, P=0.000). The stone free rate of the patients with intelligent control group was 97.2%, it was higher than 86.0% of ordinary group (χ2=0.069, P=0.004). The complication rate of the patients with intelligent control group was 2.7%, which was significantly shorter than 18.0% of the ordinary group (χ2=17.586, P=0.000). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the success rate of stone seeking and postoperative hospital stay (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Intelligent controlled pressure ureteral flexible ureteroscope has the advantages of short operation time, high stone free rate and less complications in the treatment of renal calculi ≤2 cm compared with flexible ureteroscope ordinary.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of laparoscopic surgery for complicated ureteral strictures after Holmium laser lithotripsy.Methods There were 67 patients with ureteral stenosis after ureteroscopic lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy Holmium laser lithotripsy from January 2009 to September 2017.There were 38 males and 29 females.The average age of patients was 37 years old(rang 21-62 years).47 cases were hospitalized because of osphyalgia,among whom 8 cases had fever.There were 19 cases of upper ureteral calculi postoperative stenosis,18 cases of middle ureteral calculi postoperative stenosis and 30 cases of lower ureteral calculi postoperative stenosis,17 cases of whom had complete atresia.6 patients had received twice Holmium laser lithotripsy.Two patients had received triple Holmium laser lithotripsy.In 67 cases,11 cases had received a ureteral stent placement to dilate the affected ureter.2 cases had received twice ureteral stent placements,two double-J tubes were placed in the two stage surgery.2 cases had received treatment of incision inside the ureteral stricture by ureteroscope,but symptoms recurred after removal of the double-J tube.There were 15 cases of mild hydronephrosis before surgery,moderate hydronephrosis in 27 cases,severe hydronephrosis in 25 cases.The depth of separation of the renal collecting system was (3.85 ± 0.58) cm,preoperative serum creatinine was 115μmol/L on average (range 46-258 μmol/L).The surgery was done by the abdominal pathway or posterior abdominal pathway.52 patients had ureteral stenosis resection plus ureter end anastomosis,15 patients had ureteral bladder replantation.Results All the patients had successful surgery.The operation time was 65-160 min,and the average operation time was 82 min;the intraoperative blood loss was about 20-300 ml,and the average blood loss was about 56 ml;Postoperative fever occurred in two patients and were successfully treated by re-indwelling catheter and antibiotic.The stent was removed after 2-3 months and patients were followed up for 5-24 months after removing the double-J tube,with an average of 12 months.The patients with osphyalgia were significantly relieved.The separation of the renal collecting system was reduced to(3.85 ± 0.58)cm,postoperative serum creatinine was 75.8 μmol/L on average (range 47-165 μmol/L).Renal function stop deterioration in 67 patients.Conclusion The operation of laparoscopic ureteral strictures resection plus ureter end anastomosis or ureteral bladder replantation after ureteral strictures due to the use of Holmium laser lithotripsy is the minimally invasive,safe and effective treatment.
