ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos La estenosis de la arteria del injerto renal (EAR) es una complicación vascular del trasplante renal cuya incidencia estimada es del 13%, la cual puede causar hipertensión arterial refractaria, disfunción renal y muerte prematura en los receptores. Métodos Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo que incluyó a todos los pacientes sometidos a trasplante renal entre 2014 y 2020. Los pacientes fueron evaluados mediante ecografía doppler renal sistemática tras el trasplante. Para identificar los factores de riesgo independientes de la estenosis de la arteria renal tras el trasplante, realizamos un análisis multivariante. Resultados Se incluyeron 724 trasplantes renales, el 12% eran de donante vivo y el 88% de donante fallecido. La edad media en los receptores era de 54,8 años y en los donantes era de 53. Se diagnosticó estenosis de la arteria del injerto renal en 70 (10%) receptores, la mayoría durante los primeros 6 meses después de la intervención. El 51% de los pacientes con estenosis de la arteria del injerto renal se manejaron de manera conservadora. El análisis multivariante mostró que la diabetes mellitus, el rechazo del injerto, la resutura arterial y el índice de masa corporal del donante eran factores de riesgo independientes de estenosis de la arteria renal después del trasplante. La supervivencia de los injertos con estenosis de la arteria del injerto renal fue del 98% a los 6 meses y del 95% a los 2 años. Conclusiones El uso sistemático de la ecografía doppler en el período inmediatamente posterior al trasplante permitió diagnosticar un 10% de estenosis de la arteria del injerto renal en nuestra cohorte. A pesar de los factores de riesgo mencionados anteriormente, un seguimiento y tratamiento adecuados podrían reducir el riesgo de pérdida del injerto en pacientes con estenosis de la arteria del injerto renal.

Introduction and objectives Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a vascular complication after kidney transplantation which estimated incidence is 13%. It could cause refractory arterial hypertension, kidney dysfunction and premature death in transplant recipients. Methods We carried out a retrospective study including every patient who underwent renal transplantation between 2014 and 2020. They were evaluated with a systematic post-transplant renal Doppler ultrasound. To identify independent risk factors for transplant renal artery stenosis we performed a multivariate analysis. Results Seven hundred twenty-four kidney transplants were included, 12% were living donors and 88% were deceased donors. The mean age was 54.8 in recipients and 53 in donors. Transplant renal artery stenosis was diagnosed in 70 (10%) recipients, the majority in the first 6 months after surgery. The 51% of patients with transplant renal artery stenosis were managed conservatively. The multivariate analysis showed diabetes mellitus, graft rejection, arterial resuture and donor body mass index as independent risk factors for transplant renal artery stenosis. Survival of the grafts with transplant renal artery stenosis was 98% at 6 months and 95% at two years. Conclusions The systematic performance of Doppler ultrasound in the immediate post-transplant period diagnosed 10% of transplant renal artery stenosis in our cohort. Despite the above risk factors, an adequate monitoring and treatment could avoid the increased risk of graft loss in patients with transplant renal artery stenosis. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The suspension of most elective surgeries during COVID-19 pandemic caused the lengthening of urology surgical waiting lists. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on urology surgical waiting list in a high-volume hospital. Methods: An observational descriptive study was designed. All patients included in the urology surgical waiting list of our high-volume center on May 1st 2020 (46 days after the suspension of elective surgery) were analyzed. Baseline variables, priority on the waiting list, main urological disease, type of scheduled surgery, and waiting time were recorded. Other variables recorded were the presence of a urinary catheter, number of accesses to the emergency department, evidence of COVID-19 infection, number of deaths and their cause. The waiting time for each disease was compared with the time to surgery in 2019. Results: A total of 350 patients were included. The mean (SD) time on the waiting list was 97.33 (55.47) days. Priority 1 patients, who normally should undergo surgery within 30 days, were on the waiting list for a mean (SD) time of 60.51 (20.14) days. They were mainly patients with ureteral lithiasis (25.6%), high-risk or muscle-invasive bladder cancer (20.9%) and high-risk prostate cancer (13.9%). The mean waiting time had already significantly exceeded the mean time to surgery in 2019 for radical cystectomy (p = 0.04) and URS (p = 0.003). Conclusions: The suspension of most elective surgeries due to COVID-19 had a significant impact on urology surgical waiting list of our high-volume center, especially in priority 1 group.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La suspensión de la mayoría de las cirugías electivas durante la pandemia por COVID-19 ha aumentado las listas de espera de cirugía urológica. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 en la lista de espera de cirugía urológica en un hospital de alto volumen.MétodosSe diseñó un estudio descriptivo observacional. Se analizaron todos los pacientes incluidos en la lista de espera de cirugía urológica de nuestro centro de alto volumen el 1 de mayo de 2020 (46 días después de la suspensión de la cirugía electiva). Se registraron las características basales, prioridad en la lista de espera, enfermedad urológica principal, tipo de cirugía programada y tiempo de espera. Otras variables registradas fueron la presencia de catéter urinario, el número de visitas al servicio de urgencias, evidencia de infección por COVID-19, el número de muertes y su causa. El tiempo de espera de cada enfermedad se comparó con el tiempo de espera para la cirugía en 2019.ResultadosUn total de 350 pacientes fueron incluidos en el estudio. El tiempo medio (DE) en la lista de espera fue de 97,33 (55,47) días. Los pacientes de prioridad 1, que normalmente deben ser operados en un plazo de 30 días, estuvieron en la lista de espera por un tiempo medio de 60,51 (20,14) días. Eran principalmente pacientes con litiasis ureteral (25,6%), cáncer de vejiga de alto riesgo o músculo-invasivo (20,9%) y cáncer de próstata de alto riesgo (13,9%). El tiempo medio de espera superaba significativamente el tiempo medio (DE) de espera para cistectomía radical (p = 0,04) y URS (p = 0,003) en 2019.ConclusionesLa suspensión de la mayoría de las cirugías electivas debido a la pandemia por COVID-19 tuvo un impacto significativo en la lista de espera de cirugía urológica de nuestro centro de alto volumen, especialmente en el grupo de prioridad 1.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Diseñar un protocolo asistencial para reiniciar la actividad quirúrgica programada en un servicio de Urología de un hospital de tercer nivel de la Comunidad de Madrid, de manera segura para nuestros pacientes y profesionales en el contexto de la epidemia por coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Constituimos un grupo multidisciplinar que se encargó de analizar las diferentes recomendaciones de la literatura, organizaciones sanitarias nacionales e internacionales y sociedades científicas, así como de su aplicación a nuestro medio. Una vez reiniciada la cirugía programada, se está llevando a cabo un seguimiento de los pacientes intervenidos en cuanto a complicaciones relacionadas con COVID-19. RESULTADOS: Desde el reinicio de la actividad quirúrgica se han programado 19 pacientes, de los cuales 2 han sido suspendidos por presentar COVID-19, diagnosticado uno por PCR positiva para SARS-CoV-2, y otro por alteraciones analíticas y radiológicas compatibles con esta infección. En el seguimiento realizado no se han detectado complicaciones relacionadas con COVID-19, con una mediana de seguimiento de 10 días (4-14 días). CONCLUSIONES: Resultados preliminares indican que el protocolo diseñado para asegurar la correcta aplicación de medidas de prevención de transmisión de la infección por coronavirus está siendo seguro y efectivo


OBJECTIVE: Design a care protocol to restart scheduled surgical activity in a Urology service of a third level hospital in the Community of Madrid, in a safe way for our patients and professionals in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus epidemic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A multidisciplinary group reviewed the different recommendations of the literature, national and international health organizations and scientific societies, as well as their application to our environment. Once scheduled surgery has restarted, the patients undergoing surgery for complications related to COVID-19 are being followed up. RESULTS: Since the resumption of surgical activity, 19 patients have been scheduled, of which 2 have been suspended for presenting COVID-19, one diagnosed by positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2, and another by laboratory and imaging findings compatible with this infection. With a median follow-up of 10 days (4-14 days), no complications related to covid-19 were detected. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary results indicate that the protocol designed to ensure the correct application of preventive measures against the transmission of coronavirus infection is being safe and effective
