Abstract
Purpose: To compare the efficacy, safety and advantages of the total tubeless (TT) percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and standard PCNL in the supine position.
Methods: This study was carried out at İzmir Tepecik Health Application and Research Center. A total of 87 patients were examined. Forty-three patients who underwent TT procedure were defined as Group 1, and 44 patients who underwent standard procedure with a nephrostomy tube were defined as Group 2. Two techniques were evaluated with demographic data and outcome parameters. Univariate regression analyses were performed in these data sets for the parameters that predicted the TT procedure.
Results: The demographic data of the groups and all characteristics of the stones were similar. When the results were examined, the stone-free rates detected by non-contrast computed tomography (CT) in the postoperative 1st month were similar between the groups. Complication rates and secondary intervention rates were similar. Operation and fluoroscopy times were shorter in group 1, which were not statistically significant. Postoperative hemoglobin decreased, and creatinine values were similar. In Group 1, mean postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores and the percentage of VAS reporting > 5 points for pain level measurement were lower and statistically significant. In the univariate analysis of the factors predicting the TT procedure, no significant results were found in any parameter.
Conclusion: Performing TT PCNL in the supine position in selected patients reduces postoperative pain without affecting the complication rates as in prone PCNL. Our study is the first to compare TT and standard PCNL in supine position.
期刊介绍：
Official Journal of the International Urolithiasis Society
The journal aims to publish original articles in the fields of clinical and experimental investigation only within the sphere of urolithiasis and its related areas of research. The journal covers all aspects of urolithiasis research including the diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, genetics, clinical biochemistry, open and non-invasive surgical intervention, nephrological investigation, chemistry and prophylaxis of the disorder. The Editor welcomes contributions on topics of interest to urologists, nephrologists, radiologists, clinical biochemists, epidemiologists, nutritionists, basic scientists and nurses working in that field.
Contributions may be submitted as full-length articles or as rapid communications in the form of Letters to the Editor. Articles should be original and should contain important new findings from carefully conducted studies designed to produce statistically significant data. Please note that we no longer publish articles classified as Case Reports. Editorials and review articles may be published by invitation from the Editorial Board. All submissions are peer-reviewed. Through an electronic system for the submission and review of manuscripts, the Editor and Associate Editors aim to make publication accessible as quickly as possible to a large number of readers throughout the world.
