- Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the treatment of renal and ureteral stones(2015) TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; SROUGI, Miguel; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoThe use of certain technical principles and the selection of favorable cases can optimize the results of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The aim of this study is to review how ESWL works, its indications and contraindications, predictive factors for success, and its complications. A search was conducted on the Pubmed (R) database between January 1984 and October 2013 using ""shock wave lithotripsy"" and ""stone"" as key-words. Only articles with a high level of evidence, in English, and conducted in humans, such as clinical trials or review/meta-analysis, were included. To optimize the search for the ESWL results, several technical factors including type of lithotripsy device, energy and frequency of pulses, coupling of the patient to the lithotriptor, location of the calculus, and type of anesthesia should be taken into consideration. Other factors related to the patient, stone size and density, skin to stone distance, anatomy of the excretory path, and kidney anomalies are also important. Antibiotic prophylaxis is not necessary, and routine double J stent placement before the procedure is not routinely recommended. Alpha-blockers, particularly tamsulosin, are useful for stones >10mm. Minor complications may occur following ESWL, which generally respond well to clinical interventions. The relationship between ESWL and hypertension/diabetes is not well established.
- Preoperative Planning with Noncontrast Computed Tomography in the Prone and Supine Position for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Practical Overview(2015) MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; BERTO, Fernanda Christina G.; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; SHAN, Chen Jen; SROUGI, Miguel; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoObjective: To evaluate kidney/adjacent organs positional changes in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) using noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) in prone and supine positions. Methods: Patients scheduled PCNL were prospectively enrolled in the study and underwent NCCT in supine and in prone position (with boosters). Two imaginary lines for the posterior calyx of upper/mid/lower poles of both kidneys in prone and supine decubitus were considered and compared. Line I (LI): drawn horizontally in the coronal plane in contact with the posterior edge of the kidney. Line II (LII): drawn from the antero-lateral edge of the vertebra through the middle of the posterior calyx (ideal puncture line). Renal depth (d) was measured from LI to the anterior extremity of the vertebra. The maximum access angle (a) considered the window available in the axial plane to perform a secure approach to each calyx. Results: Thirty-seven patients were analyzed; 56.7% were female; mean BMI was 28.3 +/- 4.9 kg/m(2). For the right kidney, prone position was associated with more organs crossed by LI (54.1% vs 18.9%; p<0.01) and LII (56.8% vs 27%; p=0.03) in the upper calyx. For the left kidney, LII crossed more organs in prone in the upper calyx (54.1% vs 29.7%; p=0.03). Both kidneys showed a tendency to be deeper in the supine position, which provided a wider access angle. Conclusions: Supine NCCT is not accurate to plan PCNL access in prone position. Prone decubitus is associated with more potential organ injuries in the upper pole. In supine, the kidney situates deeper in the abdomen but the access angle is wider than in prone.
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with solitary kidney: a critical outcome analysis(2015) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; PADOVANI, Guilherme P.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; REIS, Sabrina T.; SROUGI, Miguel; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoPurpose: To describe our experience with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in patients with solitary kidneys and analyze factors that can impact on intra-operative bleeding and postoperative complications. Materials and Methods: We reviewed our stone database searching for patients with solitary kidney who underwent PCNL from Jan-05 through Oct-13. Demographic data, stone characteristics, and intra-and postoperative outcomes were recorded. Spearman correlation was performed to assess which variables could impact on bleeding and surgical complications. Linear and logistic regressions were also performed. Results: Twenty-seven patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age and BMI were 45.6 years and 28.8Kg/m(2), respectively; 45% of cases were classified as Guys 3 (partial staghorn or multiple stones) or 4 (complete staghorn) - complex cases. Stone-free rate was 67%. Eight (29.6%) patients had postoperative complications (five of them were Clavien 2 and three were Clavien 3). On univariate analysis only number of tracts was associated with increased bleeding (p=0.033) and only operative time was associated with a higher complication rate (p=0.044). Linear regression confirmed number of access tracts as significantly related to bleeding (6.3, 95% CI 2.2-10.4; p=0.005), whereas logistic regression showed no correlation between variables in study and complications. Conclusions: PCNL in solitary kidneys provides a good stone-free rate with a low rate of significant complications. Multiple access tracts are associated with increased bleeding.

article 13 Citação(ões) na Scopus Outcomes of surgical treatment of ureteral strictures after laser ureterolithotripsy for impacted stones(2015) SROUGI, Victor; PADOVANI, Guilherme P.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo; SROUGI, MiguelIntroduction: To evaluate the outcomes of ureteral strictures treatment after endoureterotomy using the holmium laser or open/laparoscopic surgery. Material and methods: From a database of 1101 patients that underwent semi-rigid holmium laser ureterolithotripsy from 2003 to 2013, we performed a search for patients treated for ureteral stricture. Parameters analyzed included patient demographic, stone burden, and ureteral stricture characteristics. Treatment included holmium laser endoureterotomy for stenosis cm and open/laparoscopic repair for stenosis >1 cm or for failed endoscopic treatment. Outcomes and complications were assessed. Success was defined as symptom improvement and radiographic obstruction resolution. Results: Of all the patients, 32 (2.8%) evolved with ureteral stenosis and all had impacted calculi at the time of surgery. Twenty-two patients with complete follow up were studied. After a mean follow up of 18.5 months (range 3-70), the success rates for endoureterotomy and open/laparoscopic stricture repair group were 50% and 82%, respectively. The hospitalization period was significantly shorter for patients who had undergone endoureterotomy (2.7 +/- 1.4 days versus 4.8 +/- 1.4 days; p = 0.003). Only minor complications occurred in both groups. Conclusion: The rate of ureteral stricture after holmium laser ureterolithotripsy for impacted calculi is higher than reported for non-impacted stones. Holmium laser endoureterotomy for stenosis shorter than 1 cm treated half of the cases. Open/laparoscopic repair had good outcomes in cases of longer stenosis.- Peripyelitis: A risk factor for urinary fistula after tubeless PCNL(2015) PADOVANI, Guilherme Philomeno; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; SROUGI, Victor; MAZZUCCHI, Eduardo; SROUGI, Miguel

- Impact of Renal Anatomy on Shock Wave Lithotripsy Outcomes for Lower Pole Kidney Stones: Results of a Prospective Multifactorial Analysis Controlled by Computerized Tomography(2015) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; YAMAUCHI, Fernando I.; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; SROUGI, Miguel; MONGA, Manoj; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoPurpose: We evaluated which variables impact fragmentation and clearance of lower pole calculi after shock wave lithotripsy. Materials and Methods: We prospectively evaluated patients undergoing shock wave lithotripsy for a solitary 5 to 20 mm lower pole kidney stone between June 2012 and August 2014. Patient body mass index and abdominal waist circumference were recorded. One radiologist blinded to shock wave lithotripsy outcomes measured stone size, area and density, stone-to-skin distance, infundibular length, width and height, and infundibulopelvic angle based on baseline noncontrast computerized tomography. Fragmentation, success (defined as residual fragments less than 4 mm in asymptomatic patients) and the stone-free rate were evaluated by noncontrast computerized tomography 12 weeks postoperatively. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: A total of 100 patients were enrolled in the study. Mean stone size was 9.1 mm. Overall fragmentation, success and stone-free rates were 76%, 54% and 37%, respectively. On logistic regression body mass index (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.11-1.49, p = 0.004) and stone density (OR 1.0026, 95% CI 1.0008-1.0046, p = 0.005) significantly impacted fragmentation. Stone size (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.07-1.48, p = 0.039) and stone density (OR 1.0021, 95% CI 1.0007-1.0037, p = 0.012) impacted the success rate while stone size (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.50, p = 0.029), stone density (OR 1.0015, 95% CI 1.0001-1.0032, p = 0.046) and infundibular length (OR 1.1035, 95% CI 1.015-1.217, p = 0.015) impacted the stone-free rate. The best outcomes were found in patients with a body mass index of 30 kg/m(2) or less, stones 10 mm or less and 900 HU or less, and an infundibular length of 25 mm or less. The coexistence of significant unfavorable variables led to a stone-free rate of less than 20%. Conclusions: Obese patients with higher than 10 mm density stones (greater than 900 HU) in the lower pole of the kidney with an infundibular length of greater than 25 mm should be discouraged from undergoing shock wave lithotripsy.
