Effect of negative pressure lithotomy on the incidence of infection related complications after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the incidence of infection related complications after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy.Methods:One hundred and forty-two patients with renal calculi who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2018 were divided into control group (71 cases) and experimental group (71 cases) by random number method. Among them, the control group was treated with common sheath, the experimental group was treated with negative pressure lithotomy, and the patients were followed up for 1 year after the operation to count the recurrence. The patients in the two groups were compared in terms of perioperative indexes, intraoperative complication rate, postoperative complication rate, recurrence rate in 1 year′s follow-up and quality of life in 1 year′s follow-up.Results:The operation time in two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The amount of bleeding in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(12.15 ± 1.06) ml vs. (13.03 ± 1.17) ml], the length of hospitalization was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(5.13 ± 0.67) d vs. (6.02 ± 0.78) d], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The incidence of intraoperative complications in two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.41%(1/71) vs. 11.27%(8/71)], the recurrence rate in the follow-up period of 1 year was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.14%(1/71) vs. 9.86%(7/71)], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The scores of postoperative World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionaire BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) of the two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). At 1 year′s follow-up, the scores of WHOQOL-BREF in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:With the help of vacuum lithotripsy in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, but the incidence of postoperative complications can be significantly reduced, the length of stay can be shortened, the follow-up recurrence can be reduced, and the quality of life can be improved.
