- Bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus staged approach: a critical analysis of complications and renal function(2020) TORRICELLI, Fabio C. M.; CARVALHO, Regina S.; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; BATAGELLO, Carlos A.; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoINTRODUCTION: Patients with bilateral kidney stones and burdened by large stones are challenging cases for endourologists. Simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (sbPCNL) is an option; however, it may be accompanied by important morbidity. An alternative is a staged PCNL, operating one side each time. Herein, we compare the impact of sbPCNL and staged PCNL on complication rates and renal function. METHODS: Patients who underwent sbPCNL or staged bilateral PCNL with a frame time of 6 months were searched in our prospectively collected kidney stone database. Groups were compared for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities (classification by the American Society of Anesthesiology - ASA), stone size, Guy's score, stone-free status, renal function, blood loss, blood transfusion rate, complication rate, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients and 52 kidney units were enrolled. The mean operative time was 134.7 min. Only 11.3% of cases had complications, all of them minor (Clavien <= 2). Overall, the stone-free rate was 61.50%. Comparing the groups, there was a significantly longer operative time in the sbPCNL group (172.5 vs. 126.3 min; p=0.016), as well as a higher transfusion rate (12.5% vs. 5.6%; p=0.036). There was no statistically significant difference in creatinine levels between the groups. Regarding the stone-free rate, there was a significantly higher proportion of patients in the staged PCNL group (64.9% vs. 43.8%; p=0.012). CONCLUSION: sbPCNL is a safe procedure; however, when compared to staged procedures it has a higher transfusion and lower stonefree rate.
- 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.
- One week pre-operative oral antibiotics for percutaneous nephrolithotomy reduce risk of infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis(2023) DANILOVIC, Alexandre; TALIZIN, Thalita Bento; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; BATAGELLO, Carlos; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; NAHAS, Willaim C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoPurpose: The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the efficacy of extended dose of preoperative antibiotics to reduce infectious risk in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Materials and Methods: A literature search for prospective case-control studies or randomized controlled trials was done. PICO framework was used.Population: adult patients that underwent to PCNL; Intervention: extended dose preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis before PCNL; Control: short dose preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis befo-re PCNL; and Outcome: systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis, fe-ver after PCNL and positive intraoperative urine and stone culture. This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO database under the number: CRD42022359589.Results: Three RCT and two prospective studies (475 patients) were included. SIRS/ sepsis outcome was retrieved from all studies included. Seven days preoperative oral antibiotics for PCNL was a protective factor for developing SIRS/sepsis (OR 0.366, 95% CI 0.234 -0.527, p < 0.001). There was no statistical association between seven-day use of antibiotics and fever (OR 0.592, 95% CI 0.147 - 2.388, p = 0.462). Patients who received seven days preoperative antibiotics had lower positive intraoperative urine culture (OR 0.284, 95% CI 0.120 - 0.674, p = 0.004) and stone culture (OR 0.351, 95% CI 0.185 - 0.663, p = 0.001) than the control group.Conclusion: one week of prophylactic oral antibiotics based on local bacterial sensi-tivity pattern plus a dose of intravenous antibiotics at the time of surgery in patients undergoing PCNL reduces the risk of infection.
- Understanding urologic scientific publication patterns and general public interests on stone disease: lessons learned from big data platforms(2021) MARCHINI, Giovanni S.; FARIA, Kauy V. M.; NETO, Felippe L.; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; DANILOVIC, Alexandre; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; BATAGELLO, Carlos A.; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoPurpose To analyse patterns of stone disease online information-seeking behaviours in the United States and to correlate with urological literature publication aspects. Methods To compare Relative Search Volume (RSV) among different twelve preselected urologic keywords we chose ""United States"" as country and ""01/01/2009-31/12/2018"" as time range on Google Trends (GT). We defined ""ureteroscopy"" as a reference and compared RSV against it for each term. RSV was adjusted and normalized in a scale 0-100. Trend presence was evaluated by Mann-Kendall Test and magnitude by Sen's Slope Estimator (SS). Weather influence on RSV was also investigated by comparison of the ten hottest versus ten coldest states. Pearson correlation analysis was performed between number of Pubmed publications and RSV for each term over time. Results We found an upward tendency (p 0.01) for most terms. Higher temporal trends were seen for ""kidney stone"" (SS = 0.36), ""kidney pain"" (SS = 0.39) and ""tamsulosin"" (SS = 0.21). Technical treatment terms had little search volumes and no increasing trend. States with hotter weather showed higher mean RSV for ""kidney stone"" than colder ones. There was little correlation between GT and Pubmed for most terms, with the exception of ""kidney stone"" (R = 0.89; p 0.01), ""URS"" (R = 0.81; p 0.01), and ""laser lithotripsy"" (R = 0.74; p = 0.01). Conclusion There was a significant increase in online search for medical information related to stone disease. Citizens tend to look for generic terms related to symptoms or the disease itself. States with hotter weather show higher RSV than colder states. There is a discrepancy between public and medical community medical terms.
- Current trends of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in a developing country(2018) BATAGELLO, Carlos A.; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; MARCHINI, Giovanni Scala; TORRICELLI, Fabio Cesar Miranda; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, Willian Carlos; MAZZUCCHI, EduardoIntroduction: To present the current practice patterns on percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in a developing country. Materials and Methods: A survey was offered to Brazilian urologists during the II International Endourology Symposium held in Sao Paulo, in 2015. The first seven questions were related to demographic data while the 20 remaining were directed to urologists who performed PCNL. Results: From 250 participants, 100 replied to the survey, 81% performed PCNL and 60.4% of performers had been in practice for less than 15 years. Eighty-one percent were trained in the prone position and 64% in supine. PCNL was learned during the residency in 66.7% and 2.5% had fellowship training. Prone position was the preferred decubitus for simple or complex calculi, though for obese patients there was no difference. Younger surgeons prefer supine while older surgeons prefer prone. The access was obtained by the surgeon in all cases, 96.3% use fluoroscopy and 3.7% prefer ultrasonography. Forty-seven percent use ultrasonic lithotripters and 4.1% laser. For kidney drainage, 71.6% place a nephrostomy tube. Double J stent is left in 77%. The postoperative image method was CT for 50%. Colonic injury was reported by 25%, predominantly in the senior group without statistically difference between positions. Conclusions: From a selected group of urologists, we observe that Brazilian urologists usually gain their own access for PCNL guided by fluoroscopy. They predominantly prefer the prone position, use fascial dilators, ultrasonic lithotripters and place a nephrostomy tube when exiting the kidney. Fellowship programs, ultrasonography, flexible nephoscopy and tubeless procedures could be encouraged.

- Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus retrograde intrarenal surgery for the treatment of 10-20 mm lower pole renal stones: a systematic review and meta-analysis(2020) CABRERA, Jose D.; MANZO, Braulio O.; TORRES, Jose E.; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; SANCHEZ, Hector M.; ROJAS, Ernesto A.; LOZADA, EdgardPurpose To compare the efficacy and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) versus retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for treatment of 10-20 mm lower pole renal stones. Methods A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted to identify all studies comparing mini-PCNL and RIRS for 10-20 mm lower pole renal stones before March 2019. Article selection proceeded according to the search strategy based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The meta-analysis was performed with the R program version 3.5.1. Results A total of five studies were included (two randomized controlled trials and three case-controlled trials) with a total of 587 patients included. The success rate was significantly higher in the mini-PCNL group (OR 1.67; 95% CIp = 0.05). Operative and fluoroscopy times were similar for both groups (MD 2.45; 95% CIp = 0.87 and MD 2.11; 95% CIp = 0.09, respectively). Concerning the hospital stay and overall complication rates, there were no differences between the two procedures (MD 41.94; 95% CIp = 0.18 and OR 1.76; 95% CIp = 0.11). Conclusion Our analysis showed that both procedures are safe for treatment of 10-20 mm lower pole renal stones with similar complication rates, operative times, fluoroscopy times and length of hospital stay, but mini-PCNL was significantly superior in effectiveness with a higher success rate. Based on these results, mini-PCNL may be included in the guidelines as a safe and effective alternative treatment for 10-20 mm lower pole stones.
- Impact of Obesity on Outcomes of Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy(2020) FERREIRA, Thiago Augusto Cunha; DUTRA, Matheus Marques Guerra; VICENTINI, Fabio Carvalho; SZWARC, Marcelo; MOTA, Priscila Kuriki Vieira; EISNER, Brian; MURTA, Claudio Bovolenta; CLARO, Joaquim Francisco de AlmeidaObjectives:To determine whether obesity has an impact on the outcomes of supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Patients and Methods:We retrospectively evaluated a prospectively created database of patients who underwent PCNL in the supine position from June 2009 to June 2014. The patients were divided into two groups according to their body mass index (BMI): <30 kg/m(2)(group 1, nonobese) and >= 30 kg/m(2)(group 2, obese). Pre, peri, and postoperative data were analyzed. Stone complexity was classified according to Guy's stone score. The primary endpoint was the absence of stone fragments of >= 4 mm on CT scans at postoperative day 1. Complications were graded according to the modified Clavien classification. Results:Of the 401 patients, 307 (76.6%) were nonobese and 94 (23.4%) were obese. Regarding demographic and stone characteristics, group 2 (BMI >= 30 kg/m(2)) had a higher percentage of female patients (67.3%vs50.4%,p = 0.002) and a higher mean BMI (34.8vs24.5 kg/m(2),p < 0.001) than group 1. Success rates were not statistically different between the groups (group 1 = 61.8%, group 2 = 51%,p = 0.08). There were no differences in the transfusion rate (group 1 = 2.9%, group 2 = 4.2%,p = NS) or total number of complications greater than Clavien grade 1 (group 1 = 13.6%, group 2 = 13.8%,p = NS). Conclusion:In a retrospective study of 400 patients undergoing PCNL, the outcomes were not different between nonobese and obese patients. To our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating these outcomes for PCNL performed in the supine position. Further multicenter and prospective studies are necessary to verify these findings.
- Differences in the percutaneous nephrolithotomy practice patterns among Latin American urologists with and without endourology training(2018) MANZO, Braulio O.; LOZADA, Edgar; VICENTINI, Fabio C.; SANCHEZ, Francisco Javier; MANZO, GildardoPurpose: Although the worldwide percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) practice patterns determined via a survey sent to members of the Endourological Society have been published, differences in PCNL practice patterns among Latin American urologists based on endourological or lithiasis training have not been published. To determine the PCNL practice patterns among Latin American urologists with and without training in endourology. Materials and Methods: The SurveyMonkeys (R) web platform was used to develop a 27-item survey on PCNL for the treatment of renal stones, and the survey was sent via e-mail and other electronic media to 2000 urologists from 15 Latin American countries. Endourology-trained (group 1) and nontrained urologists (group 2) were analyzed. The group results were compared using the chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests. SPSS version 20 for Windows was used for all analyses. Results: A total of 331 urologists responded to the survey (rate of 16.55 %): 221 (66.7 %) in group 1 and 110 (33.2%) in group 2). In groups 1 and 2, 91.9% and 63.2% performed PCNL, respectively; 85.1% and 58.5% used preoperative tomography, respectively; 12.7% and 4.7% used preoperative nephrolitometry nomograms, respectively; 45.2% and 32.1% used endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery, respectively; 68.3% and 38.7% used multiple percutaneous tract realization, respectively; and 19.9% and 5.7% used minimally invasive PCNL, respectively (all p=0.0005). Conclusions: Statistically significant differences were observed in PCNL practice patterns of Latin American urologists with and without training in endourology. Specific training in endourology significantly influence the practice patterns of Latin American urologists.
- 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.
