RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) under ultrasonic guidance for the treatment of upper urinary calculus. Methods From June 2004 to July 2009, 1289 patients with upper urinary tract calculi were treated with PCNL under ultrasonic guidance, 386 cases of them were upper ureteral calculi, 463 cases were single renal calculi,355 cases were multiple renal caculi, 85 cases were staghorn calculi. Calculus size was 0.8 cm× 1.2cm-9.0 cm× 5.3 cm,mean 2. 1 cm× 3.1 cm. Nine hunderd and thirty-five cases were with hydronephrosis. Results All patients were performed PCNL successfully, without conversion to open surgery or death. Mean operation time was 90(55-220)min, mean operative blood loss was 175(60-800)ml. Thirty-one cases were given blood transfusion during operation or post operation, 14 cases were given super-selective renal artery embolism for bleeding control. 1105 cases were treated with single tract, 108 cases with double tracts, 76 cases with three tracts. Calculus clearance rate of onestage PCNL was 85.03%(1096/1289);193 cases were found with residual calculi, 67 of them were given extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, 126 of them were given two-stage PCNL, calculi were removed complelety in 85 cases. Total calculus clearance rate was 91.62%(1181/1289). Conclusions PCNL under ultrasonic guidance is an effective and safe method for the treatment of upper urinary calculus with advantages of accurate positioning, high calculus clearance rate, minimal trauma, and fewer complications. The key of successful PCNL is selection of patients, grasp of operation technique, and availability of other equipements.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the safety of laparoscopic live donor nephreetomy(LDN) and open live donor nephrectomy(ODN), evaluate the kidney function and blood pressure of living donors during 1 year follow-up. Methods Thirty cases of LDN and 30 eases of ODN were retrospectively reviewed. The operation time, warm ischemia time, operative blood loss, time to post-operative intake and time to ambulation of the 2 grouups were compared. According to the modified Clavien classifica-tion system procedure-related complications were described and compared. Serum creatinine(SCr) le-vels, blood pressure and 24-h urine protein excretion were measured before nephreetomy and 1 d, 7 d, 3 months, 6 and 12 months after nephrectomy. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were measured preo-pratively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. These data were statistically analyzed. Results The operation time was (98. 6+13. 6)rain and (96.3+19. 5)rain in the LDN and ODN groups, re- spectively. Warm ischemia time in the LDN group was (90.6±15.1)s, in the ODN group was (86.4±12.3)s. Operative blood loss was (105.2±634.8)ml and (206.3±126.4)ml in the LDN and ODN groups(P<0.01). For the time to post-operative intake and time to ambulation, LDN group was (28.5±2.9)h and (25.8±63.8)h, ODN group was (38.6±63.3)h and (36.5±65.3)h(P<0.01). Perioperative complications rates were 6.6%(2/30) and 23.3%(7/30) for LDN and ODN, respective-ly. SCr was (109.1±7.5), (105.4±69.5), (96.6±10.7), (89.4±11.5), (91.6±69.3)/zmol/L in the LDN group and (107.3±69.6), (103.3±68.4), (95.4±69.1), (90.5±13.6), (90.3±11.7)μmol/L in the ODN group 1 day, 7 days, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after nephrectomy. The mean GFR of LDN and ODN was 64.7 and 65.8 ml/min at 6 months after nephrectomy, 65.9 and 67.5 ml/min at 12 months postoperatively, which were significantly different comparing with preoperative mean GFR in each group(P<0.05) but no significant difference was found between 6 months and 12 months after nephrectomy and between the 2 groups at the same time point respectively(P>0.05). Mean 24 h protein excretion was elevated after either LDN or ODN during 1 year followup, but was not significantly different either between predonation and 1 year after nephrectomy or between the 2 groups at the same period. Blood pressure increased or decreased slightly with the duration of follow-up,no significant blood presure changes were found before and after nephrectomy or between the two groups at the same period postoperatively. Conclusions LDN has the advantages of minimal trauma, less operative blood loss and quicker convalescence. It is safe and and has no adverse effects regarding kidney function and blood pressure during the first year after living kidney donation comparing to ODN.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the different approaches and their indications in the laparo-scopic treatment of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma. Methods 94 patients with upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma were divided to two groups. Group A (63 cases) with renal pelvic and ugper ureteral carcinoma were treated with retroperitoneal approach laparoscopic surgery and transurethral reseetoscope surgery. Group B (31 cases) with middle ureteral carcinoma including 6 cases with ureteral local infiltration were treated through 70° recumbent position transperitoneal ap-proach laparoscopic surgery combined with bladder cuff resection. The operative time, blood loss, the intestinal functional recovery time and post-operative complications were recorded. Results All 94 procedures were successfully completed, with no complication during the surgery. The mean operation time of A and B group was 156.5 and 160.8 min;the mean blood loss was 80 and 86 ml; the mean hos-pital stay was 8 and 8. 5 d; the time of bowel functional recovery of group A and group B was 24-48 and 24-72 h, respectively. 84 cases were followed-up with mean follow-up time of 23 months. Three eases and 5 cases were found having bladder tumor in the group A and group B. The incision and port metastasis was not found. Conclusions It is safe and feasible to treat the upper urinary tract transi-tional cell carcinoma laparoscopically. The selection of operating approach is mainly based on the loca-tion and local infiltration status of the tumor.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the outcome and the feasibility of retroperitoneal laparoscopic total nephroureterectomy with resectoscopic excision of bladder cuff for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma.Methods A total of 83 patients with upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic total nephroureterectomy with resectoscopic excision of bladder cuff from March 2003 to July 2006.The bladder cuff was transurethrally resected for 1.5 cm in circumference from the ureteric orifice.Then the total nephroureterectomy was performed laparoscopically through retroperitoneal approach.Intraurethral catheter was indwelled for 7 days postoperatively.Adjuvant radiotherapy was given in 11 patients.Results The operation was successfully completed in all the 83 patients.The operation time was 115-205 min(mean,156 min),the intraoperative estimated blood loss was 50-150 ml(mean,80 ml),and the postoperative hospital stay was 7-11 d(mean,8.5 d).Follow-up examinations were conducted for 3-38 months(mean,10.8 months).Pathological findings revealed transitional cell carcinoma in 82 patients and moderate-to-severe atypical hyperplasia of the renal pelvis epithelium in 1 patient.Cystoscopic examinations within 12 months postoperatively found bladder tumors in 6 patients,5 of whom underwent transurethral resection of tumor and 1 of whom was given laparoscopic en bloc cystectomy with left cutaneous ureterostomy.Liver metastasis was found in 2 patients with tumor of renal pelvis(pT3G3 and pT2G3)3 months after operation.Local recurrence and lung metastasis was found in 2 patients with tumor in middle segment of the ureter(pT3G3 and pT3G2-3)6 months after operation.Bone metastasis was found in 1 patient with tumor in lower segment of the ureter(pT3G3)6 months after operation.There was 1 case of loss to follow-up,while in the remaining 71 cases no recurrence or metastasis was seen.Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic total nephroureterectomy with resectoscopic excision of bladder cuff appears to be a technically feasible operation for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma,which is worthy of clinical application.
