RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the panoramic view offered by robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) reduces the likelihood of missing a crossing vessel compared to open pyeloplasty in cases where initial pyeloplasty fails. METHODS: A single institution redo-pyeloplasty database was reviewed for children treated between January 2012 to July 2023. Clinical history, imaging and operative details were reviewed to identify the etiology for the redo procedure. RESULTS: Cohort consisted of 45 patients undergoing a redo RALP during the study period. 29 of 45 patients had an initial open surgical approach, whereas 16 had an initial RALP. 10 patients were noted to have a missed crossing vessel on redo pyeloplasty - 9 had an initial open approach whereas 1 had an initial RALP (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: RALP may reduce the risk of missing a crossing vessel due to the panoramic view of the surgical field intrinsic to an intraperitoneal RALP approach.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Urological surgery presents unique challenges to patients, necessitating specialised aftercare nursing. Evidence-based nursing has emerged as a strategy to improve patient outcomes through tailored education, self-management strategies and psychological support. However, its specific impact on post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing urological surgery has not been extensively explored. METHODS: This study assessed postoperative self-efficacy, quality of life, treatment compliance and nursing satisfaction. Self-compiled percentage of satisfaction scale was used to assess the degree of satisfaction with nursing work in both groups. Patients' self-care ability was evaluated using the Self-Care Ability Scale, and their quality of life scores were assessed with Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). Patients' anxiety and depression levels were examined using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 29.0 statistical software. RESULTS: This retrospective study analysed 231 patients undergoing urological surgery and categorised them into a usual care group (n = 99) and an evidence-based nursing group (n = 132). Post-operative outcomes in the evidence-based nursing group included significantly higher self-care abilities (p < 0.001), improved quality of life scores (p < 0.001), lower anxiety and depression levels (p < 0.001) and higher treatment compliance rates (p < 0.05) compared with the usual care group. Additionally, nursing satisfaction was higher in the evidence-based nursing group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide compelling evidence regarding the favourable impact of evidence-based nursing on various post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing urological surgery. Evidence-based nursing shows promise in enhancing patients' self-efficacy, well-being, treatment compliance and satisfaction. The results underscore the potential benefits of evidence-based nursing in optimising aftercare nursing and driving positive patient-centred outcomes in urological surgery setting.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Incontinent pediatric neurogenic bladder (NB) patients face social ostracization and potential renal deterioration. Reconstructive surgery, after maximal medical therapy, requires a difficult decision-making process. Current literature for NB surgeries is difficult to interpret given definitions of dryness, use of augmentation cystoplasty (AC) and the lack of renal preservation. This study assesses the results of a defined surgical protocol to treat incontinent NB patients, using a new composite outcome measure, which includes upper tracts status and a definition of dryness. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study assessing 33 consecutive incontinent NB patients (Spina bifida 31, Sacral agenesis- 2) who underwent one of 2 procedures between 2008 and 2021. AC with a Mitrofanoff procedure (MP) was performed in patients who had a high detrusor leak point pressure (DLPP) and significant bladder trabeculations (N = 21, Group 1). Children with a low DLPP and non-trabeculated bladders, underwent a modified Young-Dees-Leadbetter/Mitchell procedure with a 360° autologous rectus fascial sling (BOP) with concomitant AC and MP (N-12, Group 2). Post-operative success was defined using a composite grading of success assessing dryness, upper tract stability and medication use. RESULTS: The mean age at surgery was 11.6 years (SD = 6 years), with 21 in Group 1 and 12 in Group 2. Mean follow-up was 3.25 years, with a minimum 24-month follow-up period. Success rate was 90% in Group 1 and 66% in Group 2. No patient had upper tract deterioration following surgery. Redo-surgical intervention, was required in 38% of Group 1 and 50% of Group 2 patients. These include 3 bladder neck injections in Group 1 and 2 bladder neck closure in Group 2, with a final success rate to 95 % in Group 1 and 83 % in Group 2. DISCUSSION: Achieving dryness and preserving upper tracts is a challenge in incontinent NB patients. Dryness rates achieved in this study is comparable, given complications and redo-surgery. Primary bladder neck closure is a radical intervention, but Group 2 patients, may benefit from an upfront discussion of the pros and cons of a bladder neck closure primarily or as a secondary procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Isolated AC obtains acceptable results for a selected subset of incontinent NB patients with significant bladder trabeculation. For those requiring a BOP, the success rate is relatively lower with the higher rate of potential complications and need for redo-surgery.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Meta-analysis was conducted to compare and evaluate the efficacy and safety of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), outside-in trans-obturator tape (TOT), inside-out tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) and transvaginal tension-free urethral sling surgery (TVT-S) in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: A computer-based systematic search of the PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, Web of Science and ScienceDirect databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TVT, TOT, TVT-O and TVT-S for the treatment of SUI was performed from the time of library construction to November 2023. Two investigators performed data extraction and quality evaluation of the included RCTs, extracting information including the follows: First author, time of publication, intervention, sample size, age, duration of follow-up and objective cure rate, subjective cure rate, dyspareunia, vaginal mucosal perforation, urinary tract infection, sling exposure and postoperative thigh pain/groin pain. Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4 was used for data processing. RESULTS: A total of 14 RCTs with 2665 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed no statistically significant differences in objective cure rate, urinary tract infection, sling exposure and postoperative thigh pain/groin pain. The subjective cure rate of TVT was higher than that of TOT (odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.37 (1.02, 1.84), p = 0.03); The incidence of TVT-O voiding difficulty was lower than that of TVT (OR, 95% CI = 2.94 (1.20, 7.20), p = 0.02); And the incidence of vaginal mucosal perforation of TOT was lower than that of TVT (OR, 95% CI = 0.11 (0.02, 0.61), p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The four surgical procedures, TVT, TOT, TVT-O and TVT-S, were relatively similar in terms of SUI outcomes. TVT had a higher subjective cure rate than TOT and a higher incidence of postoperative dyspareunia and vaginal mucosal perforation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Urologists represent functional alternatives for transplant surgeons, but their involvement is minimal. Evaluating urologists' interests in transplant and identifying associated factors may help to determine whether recruitment of more urological providers is a viable strategy to address transplant surgeon shortages in the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We emailed a 10-question survey to individuals pursuing urology in the United States and collected demographic data, education and training backgrounds, and preferences for proposed integrated residency programs and abbreviated transplant fellowships. We stratified respondents based on transplant interest (yes/no); we made comparisons by using t-tests for continuous variables and Fisher exact tests for categorical variables. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with interest in transplant surgery. RESULTS: Of 104 respondents, 98 were included in the final analysis, with 47% indicating a current or prior interest in transplantation. Male respondents were 3.7 times more likely than female respondents to be interested (odds ratio = 4.675; 95% CI, 1.411-15.495; P = .012). Participants aged <30 years were 93% less likely than older participants to be interested in transplantation (odds ratio = 0.071; 95% CI, 0.006-0.779; P = .03). International medical graduates reported higher enthusiasm for transplantation compared with US-trained counterparts (89% vs 42%), with a trend toward significance (P = .06). Nearly all (93%, 43/46) who expressed interest endorsed having an integrated training pathway. Only 70% (32/46) supported an abbreviated fellowship (<24 mo). Lifestyle concerns and insufficient exposure during residency were the most frequently cited reasons for lack of interest. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with male and older urology trainees, female and younger urology trainees were less inclined to pursue transplant surgery. Nonetheless, urologists represent an untapped pool of transplant surgeons. Proposing an integrated training program for urologists and increasing exposure to transplantation during urology residency represent potential strategies to decrease transplant surgeon shortages.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To present the experience of ileal ureter with ileocystoplasty (IUC), and compare the outcomes of IUC in minimally invasive procedures to open procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From December 2017 to April 2023, twenty patients underwent IUC in open or minimally invasive (including laparoscopic and robotic) procedures. The baseline characteristics, perioperative data and follow-up outcomes were collected. Success was defined as relief of clinical symptoms, stable postoperative serum creatine and absence of radiographic obstruction. The perioperative and follow-up outcomes of open procedures and minimally invasive procedures were compared. RESULTS: The etiology included pelvic irradiation (14/20), urinary tuberculosis (3/20) and surgical injury (3/20). Bilateral ureter strictures were repaired in 15 cases. The surgeries conducted consisted of open procedures in 9 patients and minimally invasive procedures in 11 patients. Compared to open procedures, minimally invasive surgeries had less median estimated blood loss (EBL) (100 ml vs. 300 min, p = 0.010) and shorter postoperative hospitalization (27 d vs. 13 d, p = 0.004). Two patients in the open group experienced grade 3 complications (sigmoid fistula and acute cholecystitis in one patient, and pulmonary embolism in another patient). Over a median follow-up period of 20.1 months, the median bladder functional capacity was 300 ml, with a 100% success rate of IUC. CONCLUSION: IUC is feasible in both open and minimally invasive procedures, with acceptable complications and a high success rate. Minimally invasive procedures can have less EBL and shorter postoperative hospitalization than open procedure. However, prospective studies with larger groups and longer follow-up are needed.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The safety and efficacy of CRS + HIPEC combined with urinary tract resection and reconstruction are controversial. This study aims to summarize the clinicopathological features and to evaluate the safety and survival prognosis of CRS + HIPEC combined with urinary tract resection and reconstruction. METHODS: The patients who underwent urinary tract resection and reconstruction as part of CRS surgery were retrospectively selected from our disease-specific database for analysis. The clinicopathological characteristics, treatment-related variables, perioperative adverse events (AEs), and survival outcomes were studied using a descriptive approach and the K-M analysis with log-rank comparison. RESULTS: Forty-nine patients were enrolled. Perioperative serious AEs (SAEs) were observed in 11 patients (22.4%), with urinary SAEs occurring in 3 patients (6.1%). Additionally, there were 23 cases (46.8%) involving urinary adverse events (UAEs). The median overall survival (OS) in the entire cohort was 59.2 (95%CI: 42.1-76.4) months. The median OS of the UAE group and No-UAE group were 59.2 months (95%CI not reached), and 50.5 (95%CI: 11.5 to 89.6) months, respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.475). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in OS based on the grade of UAEs or the number of UAEs (P = 0.562 and P = 0.622, respectively). CONCLUSION: The combination of CRS + HIPEC with urinary tract resection and reconstruction is associated with a high incidence of Grade I-II UAEs, which do not have an impact on OS. The safety profile of this combined technique is acceptable. However, this is a retrospective single-center single-arm analysis, with limitations of generalizability and potential selection bias. The findings need high-level validation.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Consensus for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in pediatrics has been achieved in neonatal intestinal surgery, yet it is not widely utilized in pediatric urology. We investigated the application of ERAS guidelines in pediatric urology, and determined its effects given the available level of evidence supporting the ERAS protocol in children. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A systematic literature review including series providing adoption of fast-track recovery protocols for pediatric urology procedures was carried out. Main outcome measures were study characteristics, adherence to the 19 ERAS items, complication rates and length of hospital stay. Sub-group analysis by surgery type (hypospadias versus major surgery) was performed. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Nine series with data from 1272 surgical pediatric cases were included. An enhanced recovery pathway was applied in 67.3% of the reports. Two series included patients undergoing hypospadias repair and ERAS items were insufficiently reported. Studies including children undergoing major procedures mentioned a median of 15 ERAS items, yet applied a median of 11 items. Median compliance rate was 88.9% (range 50-100). More ERAS guideline items were reported (applied or mentioned) in the most recently published studies. CONCLUSIONS: There is limited reporting and use of the ERAS guidelines in urologic surgery particularly in hypospadias repair; whilst in major surgery in children, adherence and compliance rates vary widely. In more recent series there was an increase in ERAS items that have been mentioned and applied. Future research is needed to identify barriers and to overcome them in order to fully adopt and benefit from the ERAS pathway.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Kidney stones, a common urinary system ailment, often necessitate surgical intervention. Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) and multi-channel percutaneous nephron lithotripsy (MPCNL) are key modalities for treating complex renal stones, prompting the need for a comparative analysis to enhance clinical decision-making. METHODS: Patients undergoing surgical treatment for complex kidney stones from April 2018 to April 2022 were divided into the control (MPCNL) and observation (ECIRS) groups. Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline data, and t-tests and chi-square tests were employed to compare the perioperative indicators between the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 210 patients were enrolled in this study for pre-observational comparison, and they were divided into the control group (110 patients) and observation group (100 patients). Following matching, each group comprised 85 patients. Pre-observational comparison revealed significant differences between the groups in age, disease duration, and stone diameter (p < 0.05). However, after matching, baseline data comparison showed no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). Surgery-related parameters, including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative activity duration and hospital stay, did not significantly differ between the groups (p > 0.05). The observation group exhibited a significantly higher stone retention-free rate after initial treatment compared with the control group (p < 0.05), although overall stone clearance rates did not significantly differ between the groups (p > 0.05). We found no significant differences in perioperative complications between the two groups (p > 0.05). Moreover, the observation group experienced significantly lower postoperative pain levels at 6, 24 and 48 h compared with the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Conclusively, ECIRS and MPCNL are viable options for treating complex renal calculi, with similar operation times, complication rates and stone clearance rates. ECIRS may offer advantages including lower postoperative pain and higher initial stone clearance rates than MPCNL. However, large-scale studies with long follow-up times are needed for validation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential clinical benefits of mid-urethral sling (MUS) and urethral dilatation (UD) operations for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) combined with urethral stricture. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Urology, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China, from January 2017 to 2022. METHODOLOGY: Patients with Qmax <15ml/s or PVR >50ml, and video urodynamic study (VUDS) capable of confirming the presence and position of urethral stricture were included. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) questionnaire, maximum flow rate (Qmax), and postvoid residual (PVR) urine. ICIQ-SF, Qmax, and PVR were measured presurgery, on postoperative 2-week, and 1-month postsurgery. RESULTS: There were total 19 patients with an average age of 61.37 ± 11.28 years (range 39-84) with SUI and urethral stricture. ICIQ-SF scores were decreased significantly at one month postoperatively compared with the preoperative [5.0 (0.0, 7.0) vs. 14.0 (13.0, 15.0), p <0.001]. Qmax was increased dramatically compared with the preoperative [21.3 (14.0, 28.4) vs. 13.0 (8.7,18.0), p <0.001], and PVR was decreased remarkably than the preoperative [0.0 (0.0,0.0) vs. 0.0 (0.0,60.0), p = 0.018]. Of 19 patients primarily managed with MUS and UD, two patients experienced recurrence requiring repetitive dilation till sling excision surgery was conducted, and improvement was evident in one patient after repeating UD. CONCLUSION: The overall incidence of SUI combined with urethral stricture in women is low. With a success rate of 89.5%, MUS and UD were effective therapies for the co-existence of SUI with urethral stricture, and repeated UD can be performed safely if necessary in long-term follow-up. KEY WORDS: Stress urinary incontinence, Urethral stricture, Mid-urethral sling, Urethral dilatation.

RESUMO

Awake combined spinal caudal anesthesia has been used as an anesthetic technique for longer-duration infraumbilical surgeries in infants. Literature on the safety and feasibility of this technique is limited. We share our experience with 27 infants undergoing longer-duration urologic surgery using awake combined spinal and caudal anesthesia without the use of systemic sedatives or inhalational agents. We describe our technique, safety considerations, and details surrounding the optimal timing of caudal catheter activation for prolongation of surgical anesthesia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Vesicovaginal fistulas (VVF) are the most commonly acquired fistulas of the urinary tract. The management of VVF is mainly based on expert opinion and surgeon experience. This study aims to provide the practice patterns and outcomes of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) management in Indonesia. METHODS: This study utilizes the results of a survey among the surgeons who performs VVF repair in referral hospitals throughout Indonesia between June and July of 2021. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS descriptively by displaying the relative frequency of the answers to each question of the questionnaire form. RESULTS: We collected responses from 93 respondents consisting of 68 urologists and 25 gynecologists. The most commonly reported cause of VVF was obstetric (50.5%). Most respondents confirmed the diagnosis of VVF by cystoscopy (81.7%). Waiting time to repair VVF was generally 12 weeks (79.6%), while the transvaginal approach repair was more often performed (77.4%). An additional procedure, such as tissue interposition was performed in 50.5% of cases. Tissue interposition was mostly indicated in recurrent VVF (81%), with omentum being the most selected tissue interposition (71%). When indicated, the most selected method of transabdominal approach was open transvesical (54,84%). A laparoscopic approach was performed only in 7.5% of cases. Overall, the success rate for VVF repair in Indonesia was 70-100% at first attempt. CONCLUSIONS: The transvaginal approach is preferred, either with or without an interposition tissue flap. The success rate at the first attempt is satisfactory.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Since the integration of the intern year into urology residencies, programs are mandated to introduce fundamental skills to junior residents. Our goal was to assess the impact of one such program: the 2023 New York Section of the AUA (NYS-AUA) EMPIRE (Educational Multi-institutional Program for Instructing REsidents) Boot Camp. METHODS: Junior urology residents from all 10 NYS-AUA institutions attended a free EMPIRE Boot Camp on June 9, 2023. The seminar covered procedural skills including urethral catheterization, cystoscopy, renal and bladder ultrasound, transrectal prostate ultrasound with biopsy, and an introduction to robotics/laparoscopy. Sessions focused on urologic emergencies and postoperative scenarios. Participants completed questionnaires before, immediately after, and 6 months post course, assessing comfort with procedures and overall program quality using a 5-point Likert scale and free text responses. t Tests compared pre and immediate/6-month post scores. RESULTS: Forty junior residents, along with faculty and resident instructors from all 10 NYS-AUA programs, participated. Of the 40 trainees, 35 (87.5%) completed pre- and immediate post-boot camp surveys, while 23 (57.5%) responded to the 6-month follow-up survey. Ratings showed significant improvement in comfort with basic urologic technical skills for 13 out of 14 domains (93%) immediately after the course and at the 6-month mark. Attendees reported notably higher comfort levels in managing obstructive pyelonephritis (P = .003) and postoperative complications (P = .001) following didactic sessions. CONCLUSIONS: A skills-based, free collaborative urology boot camp for junior residents is feasible and can be effective. Trainees reported improved comfort performing certain technical skills and managing urologic emergencies both immediately after the course and at 6 months of follow-up.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Most urologic surgeons will experience surgical complications during their career. These complications can traumatize the surgeon. A national survey of AUA members was conducted to better understand the impact of surgical complications on mental, emotional, and physical health. METHODS: An anonymous survey was distributed to a random sample of 4528 AUA members (US urologists and trainees). Survey items were designed to identify the prevalence of surgical complications, and consequential mental, emotional, and physical impact on the surgeon. Also assessed was the support infrastructure available to urologists who experienced complications. RESULTS: The survey was completed by 467 urologists (10.3% response rate), 432 (95%) of whom reported having experienced a serious complication. The most common mental/emotional experiences were anxiety (85%), guilt/shame (81%), and grief/sadness/depression (71%). The most common physical symptoms reported were insomnia (62%), loss of appetite (23%), and headache (13%). Approximately 94% of respondents reported that they did not receive any counseling, and 69% reported not receiving any emotional support following the incident. Urologists reported that shame, lack of administrative time, fear, stigma, and guilt were barriers to seeking support. CONCLUSIONS: The overwhelming majority of urologists experience significant complications. These complications are associated with a high incidence of physical and emotional distress, and there is poor access to support. There is an opportunity for the AUA and other agencies to address barriers to seeking and accessing care for urologists who experience mental, emotional, and physical distress after experiencing surgical complications.

RESUMO

Background and Objectives: Transurethral urologic surgeries frequently lead to hypothermia due to bladder irrigation. Prewarming in the preoperative holding area can reduce the risk of hypothermia but disrupts surgical workflow, preventing it from being of practical use. This study explored whether early intraoperative warming during induction of anesthesia, known as peri-induction warming, using a forced-air warming device combined with warmed intravenous fluid could prevent intraoperative hypothermia. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients scheduled for transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) or prostate (TURP) were enrolled and were randomly allocated to either the peri-induction warming or control group. The peri-induction warming group underwent whole-body warming during anesthesia induction using a forced-air warming device and was administered warmed intravenous fluid during surgery. In contrast, the control group was covered with a cotton blanket during anesthesia induction and received room-temperature intravenous fluid during surgery. Core temperature was measured upon entrance to the operating room (T0), immediately after induction of anesthesia (T1), and in 10 min intervals until the end of the operation (Tend). The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, change in core temperature (T0-Tend), core temperature drop rate (T0-Tend/[duration of anesthesia]), postoperative shivering, and postoperative thermal comfort were assessed. Results: The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia did not differ significantly between the two groups. However, the peri-induction warming group exhibited significantly less change in core temperature (0.61 ± 0.3 °C vs. 0.93 ± 0.4 °C, p = 0.002) and a slower core temperature drop rate (0.009 ± 0.005 °C/min vs. 0.013 ± 0.004 °C/min, p = 0.013) than the control group. The peri-induction warming group also reported higher thermal comfort scores (p = 0.041) and less need for postoperative warming (p = 0.034) compared to the control group. Conclusions: Brief peri-induction warming combined with warmed intravenous fluid was insufficient to prevent intraoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing urologic surgery. However, it improved patient thermal comfort and mitigated the absolute amount and rate of temperature drop.

RESUMO

Objective: To present a series of cases with our initial experience and short-term outcomes of a modified vaginal mucosal flap urethroplasty. Methods: Patients diagnosed with urethral stricture and operated by the same operative technique between January 2012 and January 2018 were followed for at least 6 months. Uroflowmetry and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Results: Nineteen patients were included with an average age of 56.4 years, mean preoperative Qmax of 5.3 ml/s, and PVR of 101.4 mL. After 6 months of the procedure, the mean Qmax improved to 14.7 mL/s (p<0.05), PVR decreased to 47.3 mL (p<0.05), and 84.2% of all patients reported improvement in clinical self-reported symptoms. There was an improvement in symptoms such as voiding effort in 84.2% of patients, weak stream (89.5%), and recurrent urinary tract infection (85.7%). The success rate (absence of symptoms and normal Qmax with no significant PVR) of the procedure was 84.2%. Conclusion: The described technique was considered effective for the treatment of female urethra stricture, with a high clinical success rate and an objective improvement of Qmax and decrease in PVR after 6 months of the procedure.

RESUMO

Despite advances in non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques, some proximal ureteral stones with impaction require open or laparoscopic surgery. No systematic reviews or meta-analyses have compared the efficacy and safety of open proximal ureterolithotomy and laparoscopic approaches. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety between open and laparoscopic proximal ureterolithotomy for ureteral stone management. Following the PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches were conducted in five databases (PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and ProQuest) to identify articles comparing those two surgical approaches. Operative time, blood loss, pain score, hospital stay, recovery time, and complications were collected and compared. Heterogeneity-based meta-analysis with random-effects or fixed-effects models were conducted. Two randomized controlled trials and four observational cohort studies with 386 participants met the criteria. Open surgery had significantly less time than laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (mean difference (MD): 26.63 minutes, 95%CI: 14.32, 38.94; p<0.0001). Intraoperative blood loss (MD: -1.27 ml; 95%CI: -6.64, 4.09; p=0.64) and overall complications (OR: 0.68; 95%CI: 0.41, 1.15; p=0.16) were not significantly different between two approaches. Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy reduced visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores (MD: -2.53; 95%CI: -3.47, -2.03; p<0.00001), hospital stays (MD: -2.40 days; 95%CI: -3.42 to -1.38 days; p=0.03), and recovery time (MD: -9.67 days; 95%CI: -10.81 to -8.53 days; p<0.00001). In conclusion, open proximal ureterolithotomy had less time, but laparoscopic surgery reduced postoperative pain, hospital stay, and recovery time. Both methods had comparable intraoperative bleeding and complications.
