Abstract

Objective: To assess how much can fluoroscopy assisted US guided puncture reduce radiation exposure in PCNL, and can it achieve equivalent results compared to the traditinoal fluorosocpy technique in PCNL.

Methods: From July 2022 to August 2023, 50 patients receiving mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) were included in a prospective randomized study. Two groups of twenty-five patients each were formed. Those in Group A received fluoroscopy-only guided (FG) puncture, whereas those in Group B received fluoroscopy assisted ultrasound guided (FUSG) puncture. Analysis was done on the following variables: stone-free rate, complication rate, fluoroscopy time, and demographic data.

Results: Mean age in group A compared to group B was 7.24 ± 3.72 vs. 8.0 ± ±3.77 years respectively. The addition of ultrasonic guiding resulted in a considerable reduction in fluoroscopy duration, from 157.9 ± 68.54 seconds in group A to 29.44 ± 17.01 seconds in group B (p < 0.05). The radiation dosage was significantly lower in group B (6.07 ± 3.57) mGy compared to group A (32.35 ± 13.79) mGy (p < 0.05). In group A, the time to puncture was 136.6 ± 50.78 (sec), but in group B, it was 52.20 ± 33.20 (sec) (p < 0.05). The universal stone-free rate was 95.3%, with no discernible statistical trend. Group A's complications rate was 16%, while group B reported complication rate of 12%, with no statistically significant difference (p 0.653).

Conclusion: fluoroscopy-assisted ultrasound guidance in Mini-PCNL is a safer and more effective approach than fluoroscopy alone in our experince.

目的评估透视辅助下的US引导穿刺能在多大程度上减少PCNL中的辐射暴露，以及与传统的PCNL透视技术相比能否达到同等效果：方法：2022 年 7 月至 2023 年 8 月，50 名接受迷你经皮肾镜取石术（mini-PCNL）的患者被纳入一项前瞻性随机研究。研究分为两组，每组 25 名患者。A 组接受纯透视引导（FG）穿刺，B 组接受透视辅助超声引导（FUSG）穿刺。对以下变量进行了分析：无结石率、并发症发生率、透视时间和人口统计学数据：结果：A 组的平均年龄为 7.24 ± 3.72 岁，B 组为 8.0 ± ± 3.77 岁。加入超声引导后，透视时间大大缩短，从 A 组的 157.9 ± 68.54 秒缩短到 B 组的 29.44 ± 17.01 秒（P < 0.05）。与 A 组（32.35 ± 13.79）毫戈瑞相比，B 组的辐射剂量（6.07 ± 3.57）毫戈瑞明显降低（P < 0.05）。A 组的穿刺时间为 136.6 ± 50.78（秒），而 B 组为 52.20 ± 33.20（秒）（P < 0.05）。无结石率为 95.3%，无明显统计学趋势。A 组的并发症发生率为 16%，而 B 组的并发症发生率为 12%，差异无统计学意义（P 0.653）。
