Abstract
Objective
To investigate the feasibility of tract dilation monitored by ultrasound in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and the risk factors for its failure.
Methods
A retrospective study was conducted on patients underwent PCNL with only one access (F24) using balloon dilator and sequential dilators (Amplatz and telescopic metal dilators) from December 2014 to December 2018 in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital. A total of 231 patients (130 males and 101 females) underwent ultrasound-guided PCNL with a mean age of (52.3±9.8) years were included in our study. Mean BMI was (25.8±3.1)kg/m2. Mean size of stone was (3.9±1.1)cm, 51.1% (118/231) of which were staghorn stones. Under ultrasound guidance, after puncture of the target calyx, the balloon dilator was advanced through the guide wire, and inflated to establish the F24 standard renal access. Patients’ clinical parameters such as age, gender, BMI, stone diameter, history of open nephrolithotomy were collected. Risk factors for the failure of ultrasound guided balloon dilation were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.
Results
Tract dilation succeed in 89.2 % cases (206 succeed, 25 failed) at first attempt. Median tract dilation time was 4.2 min (2.2-8.0 min). Mean operation time was 85.5 min(45.0-120.0 min). Median hemoglobin drop at the first postoperative day was 16.0 g/L (5.0-25.8 g/L). The total rate of complication was 9.1% (21 cases), including 18 cases Clavien Ⅰ and 3 cases Clavien Ⅱ. The stone free rate was 89.6%(207/231). Logistic regression analysis revealed that lower pole access (P=0.014) was a risk factor for the failure of access establishment, while the presence of hydronephrosis of target calyx (P<0.001) would significantly increase the success rate.
Conclusions
Tract dilation using balloon catheter can be safely monitored by ultrasound with high success rate and low complication rate. Lower pole puncture will make tract establishment difficulty. Patients with a hydronephrotic target calyx are more suitable for this procedure.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Urology (monthly) was founded in 1980. It is a publicly issued academic journal supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology and sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. It mainly publishes original research papers, reviews and comments in this field. This journal mainly reports on the latest scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in the professional field of urology at home and abroad, as well as basic theoretical research results closely related to clinical practice.
The journal has columns such as treatises, abstracts of treatises, experimental studies, case reports, experience exchanges, reviews, reviews, lectures, etc.
Chinese Journal of Urology has been included in well-known databases such as Peking University Journal (Chinese Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences), CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database Source Journal (including extended version), and also included in American Chemical Abstracts (CA). The journal has been rated as a quality journal by the Association for Science and Technology and as an excellent journal by the Chinese Medical Association.
