- Renal Stone Features Are More Important Than Renal Anatomy to Predict Shock Wave Lithotripsy Outcomes: Results from a Prospective Study with CT Follow-Up(2020) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; MONGA, Manoj; YAMAUCHI, Fernando I.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; BATAGELLO, Carlos A.; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoIntroduction: Lower pole kidney stones have been associated with poor shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) outcomes because of its location. However, the real impact of collecting system anatomy on stone clearance after SWL is uncertain. There is a lack of prospective well-controlled studies to determine whether lower pole kidney stones have inferior outcomes than nonlower pole kidney stones when treated with SWL. Methods: We prospectively evaluated patients with a single kidney stone of 5-15mm undergoing SWL from June 12 through January 19. All patients were subjected to computed tomography before and 3 months after the procedure. Demographic data (age, gender, and body mass index), stone features (stone size, stone area, stone density, and stone-skin distance-SSD), and collecting system anatomy (infundibular length and width, and infundibulopelvic angle) were recorded. Outcomes (fragmentation and stone clearance rates) were compared between lower pole and nonlower pole cases. Then, a multivariate analysis including all variables was performed to determinate which parameters significantly impact on SWL outcomes. Results: One hundred and twenty patients were included in the study. Mean stone size was 8.3mm and mean stone density was 805 Hounsfield units. Overall stone fragmentation, success, and stone-free rates were 84.1%, 64.1%, and 34.1%, respectively. There were no significant differences in stone fragmentation (76.0% vs 71.4%; p=0.624), success rate (57.6% vs 53.3%; p=0.435), and stone-free rate (40.2% vs 35.7%; p=0.422) in the lower vs nonlower pole groups, respectively. On multivariate analysis, only stone density (p<0.001) and SSD (p=0.006) significantly influenced fragmentation. Stone size (p=0.029), stone density (p=0.002), and SSD (p=0.049) significantly influenced kidney stone clearance. Conclusions: Stone size, stone density, and SSD impact on SWL outcomes. Lower pole kidney stones have similar fragmentation and stone clearance compared with nonlower pole kidney stones.
- In Vitro Evaluation of Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscopes: A Practical Comparison for a Patient-Centered Approach(2018) MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; BATAGELLO, Carlos A.; MONGA, Manoj; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, Willian C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoObjective: To compare the manufacturing and in vitro performance characteristics of two single-use flexible ureteroscopes with a permanent optical flexible ureteroscope. Materials and Methods: Two single-use flexible ureteroscopes, LithoVue (Boston Scientific) and Pusen (1rs. generation; Zhuhai Pusen Medical Technology Company Limited, China), were tested and compared with a permanent Flex-X-2 ureteroscope (Karl Storz, Germany) in terms of technical characteristics, optics, deflection mechanism, and additional parameters which could potentially affect surgical technique. Results: Pusen was the lightest ureteroscope while the LithoVue had the longest working length. LithoVue had a higher resolution power than the other two ureteroscopes at all distances tested (p<0.001). Pusen showed higher resolution than Flex-X-2 (p<0.01). Field of view was wider for LithoVue (87 degrees), followed by Flex-X-2 (85 degrees) and Pusen (75 degrees). Color representation was superior for Flex-X-2 than LithoVue and then Pusen. LithoVue outperformed Pusen and Flex-X-2 for all settings with instruments in terms of deflection loss (p<0.01). Pusen had the highest irrigation flow (52mL/min) with an empty working channel (p<0.01). LithoVue and Pusen showed similar flow rates with a 200m (21mL/min) and 365m laser fiber (7mL/min) and 1.3F basket (18mL/min), being superior to Flex-X-2 (p<0.01). With the 1.9F basket, LithoVue had superior flow rate (7mL/min) than Pusen (3.5mL/min) and Flex-X-2 (4mL/min; p=0.01). Conclusion: LithoVue outperformed the other ureteroscopes in terms of optical resolution, field of view, deflection capacity, and irrigation flow with larger instruments. Pusen is the lighter scope and showed better results in terms of irrigation when no instruments are in place. Flex-X-2 was superior in terms of color representation.
- Residual Stone Fragments After Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Shockwave Lithotripsy vs Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery(2021) DANILOVIC, Alexandre; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; BATAGELLO, Carlos; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; TRAXER, Olivier; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoBackground: Despite technology incorporation to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), residual stone fragments (RSFs) may still persist after PCNL and need to be addressed to avoid regrowth or ureteral obstruction. The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) for treating patients with RSFs after a previous standard PCNL. Materials and Methods: Adult patients with RSF after a standard PCNL submitted to RIRS or SWL in our Institution from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively studied. Stone-free rate (SFR) was evaluated on postoperative day (POD) 90 by noncontrast CT (NCCT) or ultrasound and kidney, ureter, and bladder radiograph (KUB) for each renal unit. Surgical complications based on Clavien-Dindo classification during the 90 days of follow-up were recorded. Sample size was calculated for a power of 80% and a significance level of 0.05, assuming SFR of 20% for SWL and 50% for RIRS. Results: Thirty-three patients treated by SWL were compared with 36 patients treated by RIRS. Hospitalization time was longer in the RIRS group (4.18 vs 12.33 hours, p = 0.001). SFR and success rate were lower in SWL than RIRS group (24.2% vs 58.3%, p = 0.007 and 30.3% vs 72.2%, p = 0.004, respectively), using POD 90 NCCT in 81.8% and ultrasound and KUB in 18.2% of the SWL group and using POD 90 NCCT in 100% of the RIRS group. Minor complications (Clavien-Dindo < III) occurred in 11 of 36 (30.6%) patients submitted to RIRS and in 2 of 33 (6.1%) patients submitted to SWL group (p = 0.025). Two patients (6.1%) of the SWL group had Clavien-Dindo IIIb complication owing to Steinstrasse and were submitted to ureteroscopy. Emergency room visits were similar between groups (6.1% vs 8.3%, p = 1.0). Conclusions: RIRS has better SFR, higher minor complications, and lower major complications than SWL for the treatment of RSFs after standard PCNL.
- The Effect of Pre-Stenting on Bleeding-Related Complications Following Ureteroscopy in Patients on Anticoagulation or Antiplatelet Therapy(2023) BERGER, Jonathan H.; DIPINA, Thomas; ALSHARA, Luay; BATAGELLO, Carlos; HEIMAN, Joshua; LARGE, Tim; SIVALINGAM, Sri; SUR, Roger L.; KRAMBECK, Amy; BECHIS, Seth K.Introduction: The American Urological Association guidelines state that continuing anticoagulant (AC) and antiplatelet (AP) agents during ureteroscopy (URS) is safe. Through a multi-institutional retrospective study, we sought to determine whether pre-stenting in patients on AP or AC was associated with fewer URS bleeding-related complications.Methods: A series of 8614 URS procedures performed across three institutions (April 2010 to September 2017) was electronically reviewed for AC/AP use at time of URS. Records indicating AC or AP use at time of URS were then manually reviewed to characterize intraoperative and 30-day postoperative (intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hematuria, emergency department visits, hospital readmission, unplanned reoperation, phone calls, and other minor 30-day complications).Results: A total of 293 identified URS procedures were completed on patients on AC/AP therapy-112 cases were on AC only (38 were pre-stented), 158 on AP only (51 pre-stented), and 23 on both AP and AC (8 pre-stented). Patient characteristics and comorbidities were similar between the pre-stented and non-pre-stented groups. For AC and AP subjects, pre-stenting did not decrease the composite risk of bleeding complications (10.3% pre-stent vs 12.2% non-prestent, p = 0.6). Pre-stented patients did have a significantly lower likelihood of requiring an unplanned reoperation (1.0% vs 5.6%, p = 0.04). In the subgroup of patients on AP alone, pre-stented patients had significantly fewer episodes of intraoperative bleeding (0% vs 9%, p = 0.04), unplanned reoperations (0% vs 6.5%, p = 0.02), and 30-day complications (14% vs 27%, p = 0.05). In the subgroup of patients on AC alone, there were no significant differences in outcomes based on stent status.Conclusions: In this multi-institutional study, we found that pre-stenting before URS was not associated with fewer bleeding complications. However, pre-stenting appeared to be associated with improved outcomes for those patients on AP therapy. These results suggest a need for prospective studies to clarify the role of pre-stenting for URS.
- Response to Giusti et al. re ""Prospective Evaluation of Bilateral Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: Is It Really Safe?""(2021) DANILOVIC, Alexandre; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; BATAGELLO, Carlos; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; TRAXER, Olivier; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo
- Prospective Evaluation of Bilateral Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: Is It Really Safe?(2021) DANILOVIC, Alexandre; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; BATAGELLO, Carlos; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; TRAXER, Olivier; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoIntroduction:The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the outcomes of bilateral same-session retrograde intrarenal surgery (BSS RIRS) with unilateral RIRS and to compare the outcomes of first with second operated kidneys in BSS RIRS. Subjects and Methods:Consecutive symptomatic adult patients with kidney stones up to 20 mm who accepted to be treated by RIRS were prospectively studied. Stone-free rate (SFR) was evaluated by non-contrast CT for each renal unit, and surgical complications were evaluated based on Clavien-Dindo classification. Results:SFR (73.9%vs76.1%,p = 0.830) and hospitalization time (14.43 +/- 18.81 hoursvs13.00 +/- 4.89 hours,p = 0.564) were similar between unilateral and BSS RIRS groups, with less consumption of disposable devices in BSS RIRS (p = 0.017). Operative time was longer in BSS RIRS (61.24 +/- 26.62 minutesvs88.65 +/- 33.19 minutes,p < 0.001). Bilateral group had significant more overall complications by Clavien-Dindo classification than unilateral (15.9%vs39.9%,p = 0.030) and more emergency room (ER) visits (11.6%vs34.8%,p = 0.026). Moreover, although both groups temporarily increased creatinine levels, it was significantly higher in bilateral RIRS (p = 0.019). First operated kidney outcomes were similar to second operated kidney outcomes of BSS RIRS. ConclusionAlthough BSS RIRS had similar SFR and consumed less disposable devices, it had a higher overall complication rate, a higher frequency of ER visits, and higher creatinine levels during follow-up than unilateral RIRS. There is no significant outcome difference between first and second operated kidneys in BSS RIRS.
