conferenceObject FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERE SEPTIC EVENTS AFTER SURGICAL DECOMPRESSION OF OBSTRUCTING URETERAL STONES: A PROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS(2016) MARCHINI, Giovanni; MOSCARDI, Paulo; SROUGI, Victor; VICENTINI, Fabio; TORRICELLI, Fabio; BRITO, Artur; CAMARA, Cesar; SROUGI, Miguel; MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo- Irreversible Renal Function Impairment Due to Silent Ureteral Stones(2016) MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; MONGA, Manoj; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; BRITO, Artur Henrique; CAMARA, Cesar; SROUGI, Miguel; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoOBJECTIVE To evaluate if renal function loss and hydronephrosis due to a silent ureteral stone might be reversed. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively selected patients with silent ureteral stones between January 2006 and January 2014. A silent case was considered if there were no specific or subjective symptoms related to the ureteral stone. Patient, stone, and kidney characteristics were evaluated preoperatively, 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Renal function was accessed in the same intervals with serum creatinine (SCr), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and Tc-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid. Patients without complete pre-and postoperative evaluation were excluded. Primary end point was midterm progress of global and ipsilateral renal function. Secondary end points included the evaluation of renal and collecting system anatomy from diagnosis to 12 months after treatment. Analysis of variance with repeated measures and marginal homogeneity test were used to evaluate renal function and hydronephrosis progression. RESULTS Twenty-six patients met our inclusion criteria. Mean preoperative SCr and GFR were 1.24 mg/dL and 72.5 mL/min, respectively. At initial scintigraphy, mean renal function was 33.4%. Laser ureterolithotripsy was performed in 84.6% of cases and all patients were rendered stone free. Two patients (8%) developed ureteral stenosis. There was no difference regarding SCr (P =.89), GFR (P =.48), and renal function at scintigraphy (P =.19) during follow-up. Hydronephrosis significantly improved from preoperatively to 3 months postoperatively (P < .0001), but not from 3 to 12 months (P =.065). CONCLUSION Patients with silent ureteral stones present with significant impairment of ipsilateral renal function and hydronephrosis at diagnosis. On midterm follow-up evaluation, renal function of the affected unit remains stable whereas hydronephrosis improves after treatment. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
conferenceObject PROSPECTIVE MID-TERM EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF SILENT URETERAL STONE TREATMENT ON RENAL FUNCTION USING 99MTC-DMSA(2016) MARCHINI, Giovanni; VICENTINI, Fablo; TORRICELLI, Fabio; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; BRITO, Artur; CAMARA, Cesar; MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo; SROUGI, Miguelarticle 18 Citação(ões) na Scopus Ureteroscopy for management of stone disease: an up to date on surgical technique and disposable devices(2016) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; PEDRO, Renato N.; MONGA, ManojThe surgical management of urinary stone disease developed substantially over the past decades and advanced minimally invasive techniques have been successfully introduced into clinical practice. Retrograde ureteroscopy and ureterorrenoscopy have become the first-line option for treatment of ureteral and renal stones worldwide with high success rates allied with a low morbidity profile. In this review, we will discuss some key points in ureteroscopy for stone disease, such as the access to upper urinary tract, including balloon and catheter dilation; how to choose and use some disposable devices (hydrophilic versus PTFE guide wires, ureteral catheters, and laser fiber setting); and lastly present and compare different techniques for kidney or ureteral stone treatment (dusting versus basketing).- A large 15-year database analysis on the influence of age, gender, race, obesity and income on hospitalization rates due to stone disease(2016) MELLO, Marcos F.; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; CAMARA, Cesar; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; LEVY, Renata; ELUF-NETO, Jose; SROUGI, Miguel; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoPurpose: To assess the public hospitalization rate due to stone disease in a large developing nation for a 15-year period and its association with socio-demographic data. Materials and Methods: A retrospective database analysis of hospitalization rates in the Brazilian public health system was performed, searching for records with a diagnosis code of renal/ureteral calculi at admission between 1998-2012. Patients managed in an outpatient basis or private care were excluded. Socio-demographic data was attained and a temporal trend analysis was performed. Results: The number of stone-related hospitalizations increased from 15.7%, although the population-adjusted hospitalization rate remained constant in 0.04%. Male: female proportion among hospitalized patients was stable (49.3%: 50.7% in 1998; 49.2%: 50.8% in 2012), though there was a significant reduction in the prevalence of male hospitalizations (-3.8%; p=0.041). In 2012, 38% of hospitalized patients due to stone disease had 40-59 years-old. The >= 80 years-old strata showed the most significant decrease (-43.44%; p=0.022), followed by the 20-39 (-23.17%; p<0.001) and 0-19 years-old cohorts (-16.73%; p=0.012). Overall, the lowest relative hospitalization rates were found for yellow and indigenous individuals. The number of overweight/obese individuals increased significantly (+20.6%), accompanied by a +43.6% augment in the per capita income. A significant correlation was found only between income and obesity (R=0.64; p=0.017). Conclusions: The prevalence of stone disease requiring hospitalization in Brazil remains stable, with a balanced proportion between males and females. There is trend for decreased hospitalization rates of male, <40 and >= 80 years-old individuals. Obesity and income have a more pronounced correlation with each other than with stone disease.

- Semi-rigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy versus laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for large upper ureteral stones: a meta - analysis of randomized controlled trials(2016) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; MONGA, Manoj; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoIntroduction: To provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing semi-rigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URS) with laparo-scopic ureterolithotomy (LU) for the treatment of the large proximal ureteral stone. Materials and methods: A systematic literature review was performed in June 2015 using the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies. Article selection proceeded according to the search strategy based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis criteria. Results: Six RCT including 646 patients were analyzed, 325 URS cases (50.3%) and 321 LU cases (49.7%). URS provided a significantly shorter operative time (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -31.26 min; 95% CI -46.88 to -15.64; p< 0.0001) and length of hospital stay (WMD = - 1.48 days; 95% CI - 2.78 to -0.18; p= 0.03) than LU. There were no significant differences in terms of overall complications (OR = 0.78; 95% CI 0.21-2.92; p= 0.71) and major complications - Clavien = 3 - (OR = 1.79; 95% CI 0.59-5.42; p= 0.30). LU led to a significantly higher initial stone-free rate (OR = 8.65; 95% CI 4.18-17.91; p< 0.00001) and final stone-free rate (OR = 6.41; 95% CI 2.24-18.32; p >= 0.0005) than URS. There was a significantly higher need for auxiliary procedures in URS cases (OR = 6.58;95% CI 3.42-12.68; p< 0.00001). Conclusions: Outcomes with LU for larger proximal ureteral calculi are favorablecompared to semi-rigid URS and should be considered as a first-line alternative if flexible ureteroscopy is not available. Utilization of flexible ureteroscopy in conjunction with semi-rigid ureteroscopy may impact these outcomes, and deserves further systematic evaluation.
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Immunocompromised Patients: Outcomes from a Matched Case-Control Study(2016) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; MONGA, Manoj; DALL'AQUA, Vinicius; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; SROUGI, Miguel; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoObjective: To compare the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in immunocompromised patients with those of PCNL in healthy population. Patients and Methods: A matched case-control study was performed from January 2009 through December 2014 using our prospectively collected kidney stone database. Patients with positive serology to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C (cellular immune dysfunction), and patients on high dose of immunosuppressive drugs for treatment of autoimmune diseases composed the case group. Control group included patients with kidney stones and no other comorbidity. Patients were randomly matched based on Guy's score as a surrogate of case complexity. Results: Sixty-two patients were enrolled in this study, 21 cases and 42 controls. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and body mass index between groups. Regarding PCNL technique, there were no differences in patient positioning, number of accesses, and operative time. Complication rate was higher in the case group (38.1% vs 14.3%; p = 0.032); however, major complications, defined by Clavien score >= 3, were not statistically different (4.8% vs 2.4%; p = 0.611). There was a tendency of more postoperative urinary tract infection in the case group (19% vs 4.8%; p = 0.069). Mean decrease in hemoglobin level (3.3 vs 2.4 mg/dL; p = 0.037) and blood transfusion rate (23.8% vs 4.8%; p = 0.036) was significantly higher in the case group. Immunocompromised patients had a 2.8-fold increased risk of complications (odds ratio [OR] = 2.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01, 7.74) and a 5.8-fold increased risk of blood transfusion (OR = 5.8, 95% CI 1.29, 26.55). There were no differences in stone-free rate, nephrostomy tube time, and length of hospital stay. Conclusion: Immunocompromised patients are at higher risk for complications such as bleeding after PCNL.
- Impact of laparoscopic surgery training laboratory on surgeon's performance(2016) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; BARBOSA, Joao Arthur B. A.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.Minimally invasive surgery has been replacing the open standard technique in several procedures. Similar or even better postoperative outcomes have been described in laparoscopic or robot-assisted procedures when compared to open surgery. Moreover, minimally invasive surgery has been providing less postoperative pain, shorter hospitalization, and thus a faster return to daily activities. However, the learning curve required to obtain laparoscopic expertise has been a barrier in laparoscopic spreading. Laparoscopic surgery training laboratory has been developed to aid surgeons to overcome the challenging learning curve. It may include tutorials, inanimate model skills training (box models and virtual reality simulators), animal laboratory, and operating room observation. Several different laparoscopic courses are available with specific characteristics and goals. Herein, we aim to describe the activities performed in a dry and animal-model training laboratory and to evaluate the impact of different kinds of laparoscopic surgery training courses on surgeon's performance. Several tasks are performed in dry and animal laboratory to reproduce a real surgery. A short period of training can improve laparoscopic surgical skills, although most of times it is not enough to confer laparoscopic expertise for participants. Nevertheless, this short period of training is able to increase the laparoscopic practice of surgeons in their communities. Full laparoscopic training in medical residence or fellowship programs is the best way of stimulating laparoscopic dissemination.
