ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of a novel technology referred to as percutaneous ureteroscopic laser deroofing in the management of renal cysts.Methods From November 2014 to August 2016,59 patients having surgical indications with renal cysts were enrolled and evaluated by ultrasound and CT scan.Of all the 59 patients,36 were males and 23 were females.Their mean age was 46 years (ranging 35-64 years).41 patients complained about the reported flank and abdominal pain.18 patients were found by imaging examination.Their mean diameter of cyst was 6.3cm(ranging 4.9-9.1cm).In regards to the 59 patients,include 6 patients suffered with parapelvic cysts and 4 patients suffered with renal cyst complicated with ipsilateral renal calculi.Their mean stone surface area was 5.7 cm2 (ranging 3.4-9.8 cm2).All of the patients received combined spinal and epidural analgesia or paravertebral nerve block anesthesia.Patients were placed in the prone position for percutaneous puncture and tract dilation.Under ultrasound guidance,an eighteen gauge needle was placed inside the cyst cavity percutaneously,a metal guidewire was introduced followed by sequential dilation up to F26-28.9.8F rigid ureteroscope was inserted through the Amplazt access sheath and advanced into the cyst cavity.Then sheath and ureteroscope both returned to the exterior cyst together.Cyst wall was dissociated from perirenal adipose tissue by used ureteroscope.A majority of the collapsed cyst wall was grasped and gently pulled towards the Amplazt sheath interior using grasping forceps and incised using either Thulium (Power 40 ~50W) or Holmium laser(Power 60 ~70W) and was taken for pathological examination.Nephrostomy tube was left in place for 2-3 days and removed before discharge.For parapelvic cysts patients,ureter stent was inserted into the renal pelvis i n the dorsal lithotomy position firstly.Patients were then placed in the prone position for percutaneous puncture and tract dilation.Laser was used to incise cyst wall towards identified pelvis to create a permanent communication between the cyst and adjacent renal collecting system.F6 double-J stent was inserted into the cyst cavity at the end to prevent auto-closure for at most two months.F22 nephrostomy tube was left in renal pelvis for two weeks.For renal cyst complicated with ipsilateral renal calculi patients,a puncture was created targeting the stone through the cyst,after fragmenting and extracting the stone,the same laser was used to deroof the cyst.More than 50% reduction in cyst volume was considered a success.The perioperative complications,hospitalization days and the effective rate of surgery were evaluated.Results All operations were conducted without intraoperative complications such as bleeding,urinary leakage or injury of the renal parenchyma and the adjacent organs.The hospital stay after the surgery was 2-4 days (mean 2.5 days).After 3-12 months follow-up (mean 8.1 months),patients underwent imaging examinations.42 out of 59 cases were completely resolved,15 were reduced to less than 50%,the total effective rate for the operation is 96.6% (57/59).4 patients with ipsilateral renal calculi were completely clear.However,two cases failed probably due to incomplete resection and follow treated with laparoscopic renal cyst deroofing.Conclusions Percutaneous ureteroscopy renal cyst laser deroofing is a safe,effective,less invasive,which can be performed in any endourological center without the need of special instruments and training.
