Abstract
Introduction: Urinary calculi are frequently encountered in urology. Traditionally, the lack of a perfect water injection and drainage system means the observation field is affected during ureteroscopy. Here, we explored the effect and clinical value of a new integrated suctioning semi-rigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) for treating ureteral calculi.
Material and methods: A total of 180 patients were successfully enrolled in this study (60 in each group). Group A included patients who underwent a traditional semi-rigid URSL, group B included patients who underwent a suctioning semi-rigid URSL with a sheath being connected to a vacuum device, and group C included patients who underwent a new type of suctioning integrated rigid URSL with a novel designed ureteroscope.
Results: In total, 164 cases of URSL were completed in one stage. Compared with group A, group C had a higher stone-clearance rate at 30 days postoperatively, shorter operation time, and fewer hospitalization days (p < .05); compared with group B, group C had a higher one-stage operation success rate, shorter operation time, and fewer hospitalization days (p < .05).
Conclusions: Comparatively, the new suctioning integrated semi-rigid URSL is advantageous for treating upper urinary calculi, considering the reduced operation time, length of hospital stay, and low invasiveness.
期刊介绍:
Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies (MITAT) is an international forum for endoscopic surgeons, interventional radiologists and industrial instrument manufacturers. It is the official journal of the Society for Medical Innovation and Technology (SMIT) whose membership includes representatives from a broad spectrum of medical specialities, instrument manufacturing and research. The journal brings the latest developments and innovations in minimally invasive therapy to its readers. What makes Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies unique is that we publish one or two special issues each year, which are devoted to a specific theme. Key topics covered by the journal include: interventional radiology, endoscopic surgery, imaging technology, manipulators and robotics for surgery and education and training for MIS.
