Urolithiasis is a common disease and up to 15% of patients have multiple kidney stones. Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) can be used in the surgical treatment of kidney stones because this method is highly effective. Patients with multiple kidney stones often necessitate several surgeries. In this study we our own experience of bilateral RIRS to analyze its effectiveness and safety. Materials and methods. From January 2021 to February 2022 the simultaneous bilateral RIRS were performed to 11 patients (7 man and 4 woman). The maximal size of stone was 21 mm (the average size of the right kidney was 15,0 mm ± 6,0 mm and the left kidney – 11,7 mm ± 4,3 mm). Average stone density was more than 1000 HU. The mean age of the patients was 57±13 years. Bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery was performed simultaneously by two surgeons using flexible ureteroscopes using a SuperPulsed thulium fiber laser. The following parameters were assessed: surgical intervention time; stone free rate (SFR); degree of ureteral injury according to the post-ureteroscopic lesion scale (PULS); the need for drainage of the ureter in the postoperative period, assessment of the creatinine level, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and C-reactive protein in the postoperative period; postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Information about the brachytherapy-induced immune reactions, which can be used for therapeutic purposes, is of great clinical value. Materials and methods. When preparing a review of the literature on the problem of the effect of brachytherap (BT) on immunity in prostate cancer (PCa), the following bibliographic databases were used: PubMed, Science Direct, Scientific Electronic Library of Russia (eLibrary). The search was conducted on the following keywords: «cancer», «prostate cancer», «brachytherapy», «immunity», «immunotherapy». In total, 6 sources were found that were directly related to the effect of BT on immunity in prostate cancer. Results. Clinical data shows that both low-dose and high-dose prostate cancer brachytherapy (BT) cause a systemic immune response. The authors explain the observed increase in the number of serum leukocytes by the induction of an inflammatory reaction in response to tumor irradiation, and the decrease in the number of B cells by the movement of antigen-recognizing B cells from the bloodstream to the irradiation site. In addition, after BT, an increase in the number of activated T-lymphocytes was demonstrated, while the number of myeloid suppressor cells significantly decreased. It has been suggested that a decrease in this indicator can activate T cells: the number of naive CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes significantly increased after local administration of radioactive sources, with a simultaneous decrease in the number of CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells. The latter may indicate that local radiotherapy stimulates the activation of the thymus and the release of naive T-lymphocytes into the bloodstream, during the migration of memory cells from the bloodstream to the prostate. The described effects reflect the process of «turning on» T-cell immunity after BT. Researchers believe that an increase in the number of activated T-lymphocytes contributes to the activation of antitumor immunity, long-term remission and reduces the likelihood of recurrence of prostate cancer. High-dose BT of localized prostate cancer, as well as probably low-dose BT, cause the transformation of the immunogenic properties of the tumor and lead to pronounced polyclonal infiltration of the prostate, mainly by T cells, which occurs under the control of a large number of «control points». The occurrence of immune cells infiltrates and changes in the signal transmission system between them after BT are reflected by a change in the type of «inflammatory signature of the tumor» (TIS) from «cold» to «hot». After irradiation in the tumor area the number of PD-L1 macrophages usually increases, which is regarded as a marker of the tumor response to the therapy. It is believed that if BT causes an increase in PD1+ expression, and use of checkpoint inhibitors to these patients can give a good therapeutic effect. Conclusion.

Heterogeneous implantable gel (JSC «BIOMIR service», Russia) belongs to such BA. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral administration of BA «Sphero®GEL» LONG (SGL) in women with SUI. Materials and methods. The open prospective study included 20 women with mild or moderate SUI, aged 41-76 years, who underwent one/two transurethral implantation of SGL into the submucosal and muscular layers after clinical and urodynamic examination. Results. According to the preliminary survey, mild SUI was detected in 13 (65%) women, and moderate SUI – in 7 (35%). Initial data: visual analog scale (VAS) – 7.7 ± 2.0; quality of life (QOL) – 3.3 ± 1.2; maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) – 20.5 ± 5.3 ml/s; post-void residual urine volume (PVR) – 7.0 ± 2.1 ml; voided volume (VV) – 297.2 ± 65.6 ml; maximal cystometric capacity (MCC) – 312.1 ± 83.3 ml; maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) – 48.4 ±11.9 cm H2O; functional urethral length (FUL) – 20.3 ± 8.2 mm; one-hour PadTest 8.2 ± 1.9 g. Two weeks after the introduction of SGL, the satisfactory effect was detected in 17 women (85%) 6 of them (30%) were completely dry. The need for SGL additional administration occurred in 11 women (55%), which was fulfilled.

Percutaneous and endourological surgeries are the most common interventions for nephrolytiasis in urologists’ practice. During the operation, it is important to maintain the right balance between sufficient flow of irrigation fluid for adequate visualization and safe intrarenal pressure. Intraoperative increase in intrarenal pressure is associated with the development of purulent-inflammatory complications in the postoperative period. The aim of the study. To substantiate the expediency of intraoperative monitoring of intrarenal pressure, as well as to assess the risks of postoperative complications after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. Materials and methods. The study included 250 patients with staghorn kidney stones. In the first group (n=120) percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) was performed according to the standard procedure with a puncture canal diameter of 30-32 Сh. The second group included 130 patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotripsy using a mini nephroscope (mPCNL) with a working channel diameter of 16 Ch. To achieve the aim of our study, we have developed a method for determining intrapelvic pressure, implemented using a miniature pressure sensor, which is installed directly into the pelvis at the time of the calycopelvical system puncture. During the surgery, the intrapelvic pressure was constantly monitored according to the method we proposed. Results. The lowest values of intrapelvic pressure were recorded when performing PCNL with the installation of an Amplatz sheath exceeding the size of the nephroscope by 2 or more Ch. When performing mPNLT, the installation of a ureteral catheter allows minimizing the increase in intrapelvic pressure. Hyperthermia in the postoperative period significantly depends on an increased intrarenal pressure and the presence of an infectious agent in the renal system. Separately performed urine cultures from the pelvic and bladder with obstruction of even minimal severity may have significant differences. In patients of mini-PNLT group intraoperative intrapelvic pressure was significantly higher (p≤0.05). The frequency of fever and exacerbation of calculous pyelonephritis is significantly higher in group of standart PNLT (p < 0.05), which is explained by greater traumatization of the renal parenchyma when creating a working fistula.

Thanks to the active development of minimally invasive surgery, lithotripsy has become possible in any part of the pelvicalyceal system, practically replacing open surgery for urolithiasis. Aim: to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of various methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis. Materials and methods. The study included patients with urolithiasis who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Urology of the State Budgetary Institution of Regional Administration of the City Clinical Hospital No. 11 (Ryazan) in the period from January 2015 to December 2020. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel 2003 and Statistica 10 software. Results. During this period, 4415 patients whith urolithiasis were treated in the hospital. The total number of operations performed is 5655, including the necessary repeated operations associated with the formation of residual concretions after surgical treatment. The greatest number of repeated operations was required after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and amounted to 56.1% in the localization of stones in the PCS and 47.0% in the ureter. The average number of complications in the form of residual concretions after contact lithotripsy was 13.3%, which is significantly less than the results after ESWL. The average number of days spent in the hospital was significantly higher after open surgical interventions and amounted to 12 days, while after contact and remote lithotripsy methods 4 and 7 days, respectively. The level of postoperative pain on the VAS scale (Visual Analog Scale) varied in the range of points 6-9 after open surgical interventions and persisted for a longer time in comparison with small and non - invasive interventions, where the level of postoperative pain varied in the range of 1-4 points. Conclusion. The results obtained by us confirm the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive methods of lithotripsy. The main disadvantage of ESWL and lithotripsy methods using Ho-YAG laser is the frequent formation of residual concretions, however, such advantages as a shorter recovery period, less need for the use of non-opioid analgesics in the early postoperative period do not raise doubts about the need for their use and a reduction in the number of more traumatic surgical interventions.","PeriodicalId":123040,"journal":{"name":"Experimental and Сlinical Urology","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127632717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
