METHODS: 117 patients that underwent to complete supine PCNL were classified according the Guy’s stone score. The data were prospectively collected but the classification according to the score was done by review of the pre-operative CT scans. All patients were operated by the same surgeon and had a pre and post operative CT scan and at the final followup. The outcomes and complications were compared among the 4 groups. RESULTS: The table 1 shows the demographic and outcomes. The groups were similar except for the median stone diameter. The differences among groups were statistically different after stratification according to the Guy’s stone score in relation to operative time, hemoglobin drop, transfusions, complications, tubeless rate, immediate success, auxiliary procedures, PCNL revisions and final success rate. CONCLUSIONS: The Guy’s stone score showed to be a very practical and useful tool to predict the outcomes of PCNL.- 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.

J.; BRITO, A. H.; PASSEROTTI, C.; JR, J. R. Colombo; ARAP, M.; I, A. Mitre; SROUGI, M.INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determinate the most efficient sequence for training new surgeons in laparoscopy: beginning with simulators, followed by surgery on animals, or beginning with surgery on animals and then using manual and virtual simulators. MATERIAL & METHODS: Forty-eight medical students without any experience in laparoscopy were enrolled and split into two groups. Group A consisted of 24 students who started with laparoscopic nephrectomy on pigs, followed by the use of simulators. Group B consisted of 24 students who started with manual and virtual simulators, followed by nephrectomy. In group A, one student performed the surgery, while the other used a camera over a one hour period, after which they switched roles(arterial clipping 30 points; vein clipping 30 points; complete nephrec tomy 20 points; no accidents 20 points). In group B, six pairs of students started with the virtual simulator in cutting and tying activities(50 points). Another six pairs of students began with the manual simulator, evaluated by a board incutting and tying(50 points). After one hour, the students changed roles. Nonparametric test was init ially applied to assess any starting point difference among groups. Then groups A and B were assessed regarding the score index improvement independently of the training sequence, in order to disclose an eventual difference of rhythm of improvement between groups. If a di fference of rhythm of improvement of the score between groups A and b was detected, the data were analyzed in order to disclose the sequence with the most increased score variation. RESULTS: There was no absolute variation of score between groups from the starting until the end of training (p=0.124 and p= 0.053). However, there was a difference in the rhythm of improvement of the novices, when we compare groups from the start to the end of training period (p<0.0001). The analysis of the absolute variation of the score according to the initial sequence of training, showed that the group who started in the animal model presented a skill improvement of 30.5% when after training on the si mulator, although those who started training in simulators presented a performance improvement of 98% after training in animal(p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that nov ice surgeons who start training in animal model have poor improvement with forward training with simulators. These data and the ethical and economic issues will be considered for the refinement of an educational curriculum.- Silent Ureteral Stones: Impact on Kidney Function-Can Treatment of Silent Ureteral Stones Preserve Kidney Function?(2012) MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo; BRITO, Arthur; EBAID, Gustavo; SROUGI, MiguelOBJECTIVE To report our experience with silent ureteral stones and expose their true influence on renal function. METHODS We analyzed 506 patients who had undergone ureterolithotripsy from January 2005 to May 2010. Silent ureteral stones were calculi found in the absence of any specific or subjective ureteral stone-related symptoms. Of the 506 patients, 27 (5.3%) met these criteria (global cohort). All patients were assessed postoperatively with dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy (DMSA). A difference in relative kidney function of >10% was considered abnormal. Pre- and postoperative comparative DMSA analyses were electively obtained for 9 patients (kidney function cohort). A t test was used to assess the numeric variables, and the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used for categorical variables. Two-tailed P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Stones were diagnosed by radiologic abdominal evaluation for nonurologic diseases in 40% and after previous nephrolithiasis treatment in 33%. The primary therapy was ureterolithotripsy in 88%. The mean follow-up time was 23 months. The overall ureteral stone-free rate after 1 and 2 procedures was 96% and 100%, respectively. In the global cohort, the mean pre- and postoperative serum creatinine levels were similar (P = .39), and the mean postoperative function on DMSA was 31%. In the kidney function cohort, no difference was found between the pre-and postoperative DMSA findings (22% +/- 12.1% vs 20% +/- 11.8%; P = .83) and serum creatinine (0.8 +/- 0.13 mg/dL vs 1.0 +/- 0.21 mg/dL; P = .45). CONCLUSION Silent ureteral stones are associated with decreased kidney function present at the diagnosis. Hydronephrosis tends to diminish after stone removal, and kidney function remains unaltered.

conferenceObject SUPINE PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITOTRIPSY IN SEPTUAGENARIAN AND OCTOGENARIAN PATIENTS: OUTCOMES OF A CASE-CONTROL STUDY(2018) TORRICELLI, Fabio; OGAWA, Guilherme; VICENTINI, Fabio; MARCHINI, Giovanni; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; BRITO, Artur; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoconferenceObject PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTOMY IN OBESE PATIENTS: COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PRONE AND TOTAL SUPINE POSITION(2012) MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scalla; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; BRITO, Artur Henrique; SROUGI, MiguelOBJECTIVE: We compared the outcomes of obese patients(BMI > 30) submitted to Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the prone or in the complete supine position. METHODS: Patients were randomly divided and all had a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) before and after the procedure. Stones were graded according to the Guy’s score and complications according to the Clavien grading. The stone-free rates, operative time, hospital stay and surgical complications were evaluated. RESULTS: 56 PCNL were performed (24 in the prone and 32 in the supine position). Mean stone area was 11.28 cm2 and 10.2 cm2 for patients in the prone and supine position (p=0.43). Overall stone-free rate after one procedure and the final result were 54.2% and 83.3% in the prone and 68.8% and 78.1% in the supine position, respectively (p=0.28 and 0.64). Stone-free rate was 100 and 88.9% for Guy’s I (p=0.84), 62.5 and 62.5% for Guy’s II (p=1.0), 75 and 54.5% for Guy’s III (p=0.6) and 20 and 75% for Guy’s IV (p=0.09) in the prone and supine positions, respectively. Mean operative time was 164.6 and 120.3 minutes in the prone and supine position (p=0.0017) and hospital stay 4.38 and 2.68 days, respectively (p=0.01). The transfusion rate was 20.8% in the prone group and zero in the supine group (p=0.01). Surgical complications rates were 33.3% and 31.3 % in the prone and supine positions, respectively (p=0.77). CONCLUSIONS: PCNL in the complete supine position in obese patients achieved similar results but complete supine position requires less transfusion, shorter operative time and hospital stay.- Adjuvant Tamsulosin or Nifedipine After Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Renal Stones: a Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial(2011) VICENTINI, Fabio C.; MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo; BRITO, Artur H.; CHEDID NETO, Elias A.; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; SROUGI, MiguelOBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of the adjuvant use of tamsulosin or nifedipine after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for nonlower pole kidney stones 5-20 mm in size. METHODS We conducted a randomized double-blind trial involving 136 patients with radiopaque kidney stones. The patients received daily treatment with 0.4 mg tamsulosin, 20 mg nifedipine retard, or placebo for <= 30 days after 1 session of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Success was defined as plain film radiography showing the patient was completely stone free or with asymptomatic stone fragments <= 4 mm in size at any time during the weekly follow-up. RESULTS The success rate was 60.5% (23 of 38) in the tamsulosin group, 48.6% (17 of 35) in the nifedipine group, and 36.8% (14 of 38) in the placebo group (P = .118). In the subgroup analysis, stones 10-20 mm had significantly greater success rates in the tamsulosin (13 of 21, 61.9%) and nifedipine (15 of 25, 60%) groups compared with the placebo group (6 of 23, 26.1%; P = .024), but not for stones 5-9 mm (P = .128). The number needed to treat was 2.9 for tamsulosin and 3 for nifedipine. Adverse events were more frequent in the nifedipine than in the placebo group (28.5% vs 2.6%, respectively, P = .009), but without a significant difference between the nifedipine and tamsulosin (28.5% vs 15.8%, P = .15) or the tamsulosin and placebo (P = .54) groups. No difference was found among the groups with regard to pain intensity, interval to clearance, or steinstrasse. CONCLUSION The stone-free rates after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy with adjuvant tamsulosin or nifedipine were significantly increased only for nonlower pole renal stones 10-20 mm in size compared with placebo. Nifedipine was associated with more adverse effects than placebo. UROLOGY 78: 1016-1022, 2011. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.
