RESUMO
Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of ureteroscopy-assisted laparoscopic ureteroplasty in the healthy side-lying running position for the treatment of ureteral stenosis after pelvic surgery.Methods:The data of 92 patients with ureteral stenosis after surgery admitted to Ganzhou People’s Hospital from June 2017 to February 2023 were retrospectively analysed. There were 31 male patients and 61 female patients, with an average age of (46.4±23.3) years. Of the 92 patients, 53 patients had previously undergone stone fragmentation or stone retrieval surgery for urinary system stones, 35 patients had undergone gynecologic laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic diseases, 2 patients had previous intestinal surgery, and 2 patients had undergone laparoscopic ureteral reconstruction surgery. The mean preoperative serum creatinine was (120.33±16.52) μmol/L, the mean blood urea nitrogen was (14.28 ± 2.47) mmol/L, and the mean renal pelvis dilation was (3.23±2.47) cm. All patients were placed in healthy side-lying running position with general anesthesia. The patient's lower limbs were in the oblique supine position, and the angle of the lower limbs was 60-80°. By using a transabdominal approach, the narrow section of the ureter was mobilized and excised under the guidance of ureteroscopy. The posterior wall of the ureter was sutured and a zebra guidewire was placed into the renal pelvis. An F7 double-J stent was then retrogradely advanced over the guidewire. Then the anterior wall of the ureter was anastomosed to complete the surgery. The operation time, average length of hospital stay, perioperative complications, preoperative and postoperative pyelectasis and renal function changes were recorded, and the clinical efficacy were evaluated by comparative analysis.Results:Of the 92 patients, 90 patients were successfully treated with ureterovesical anastomosis. Two patients underwent ureterovesical reimplantation because of the low position and heavy adhesion of the stenosis segment. There were no cases of conversion to open surgery or intraoperative death. The mean surgery duration was (121.52±22.35) min, the mean drainage tube indwelling time was (3.16±1.23) d, and the mean hospital stay was (6.46±2.37) d. A patient with moderate hydronephrosis exhibited postoperative urinary leakage. Two patients developed symptoms of hematuria after ambulation. Following treatment with bed rest, adequate drainage, and appropriate hemostatic medication, all patients recovered smoothly and were discharged. The double J tube was removed 3 months after operation, and the CT reexamination after extubation showed that the degree of pyelectasis was (2.52±1.54) cm, the average serum creatinine was (89.64±15.21) μmol/L, and urea nitrogen was (9.42±1.36) mmol/L, which was all significantly different from that before operation ( P<0.05). The patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, and there was no ureteral restenosis. Conclusions:Ureteroscopic-assisted laparoscopic ureteroplasty in the healthy side-lying running position is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of short segment (narrow segment <3 cm) ureteral cicatrix stenosis after surgery. And this surgical method has the advantages of accurate positioning of the narrow segment, safe and convenient ureteral free, exact ureteral anastomosis, and easy placement of double J tube.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of laparoscopic surgery for complicated ureteral strictures after Holmium laser lithotripsy.Methods There were 67 patients with ureteral stenosis after ureteroscopic lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy Holmium laser lithotripsy from January 2009 to September 2017.There were 38 males and 29 females.The average age of patients was 37 years old(rang 21-62 years).47 cases were hospitalized because of osphyalgia,among whom 8 cases had fever.There were 19 cases of upper ureteral calculi postoperative stenosis,18 cases of middle ureteral calculi postoperative stenosis and 30 cases of lower ureteral calculi postoperative stenosis,17 cases of whom had complete atresia.6 patients had received twice Holmium laser lithotripsy.Two patients had received triple Holmium laser lithotripsy.In 67 cases,11 cases had received a ureteral stent placement to dilate the affected ureter.2 cases had received twice ureteral stent placements,two double-J tubes were placed in the two stage surgery.2 cases had received treatment of incision inside the ureteral stricture by ureteroscope,but symptoms recurred after removal of the double-J tube.There were 15 cases of mild hydronephrosis before surgery,moderate hydronephrosis in 27 cases,severe hydronephrosis in 25 cases.The depth of separation of the renal collecting system was (3.85 ± 0.58) cm,preoperative serum creatinine was 115μmol/L on average (range 46-258 μmol/L).The surgery was done by the abdominal pathway or posterior abdominal pathway.52 patients had ureteral stenosis resection plus ureter end anastomosis,15 patients had ureteral bladder replantation.Results All the patients had successful surgery.The operation time was 65-160 min,and the average operation time was 82 min;the intraoperative blood loss was about 20-300 ml,and the average blood loss was about 56 ml;Postoperative fever occurred in two patients and were successfully treated by re-indwelling catheter and antibiotic.The stent was removed after 2-3 months and patients were followed up for 5-24 months after removing the double-J tube,with an average of 12 months.The patients with osphyalgia were significantly relieved.The separation of the renal collecting system was reduced to(3.85 ± 0.58)cm,postoperative serum creatinine was 75.8 μmol/L on average (range 47-165 μmol/L).Renal function stop deterioration in 67 patients.Conclusion The operation of laparoscopic ureteral strictures resection plus ureter end anastomosis or ureteral bladder replantation after ureteral strictures due to the use of Holmium laser lithotripsy is the minimally invasive,safe and effective treatment.
RESUMO
Objective@#To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intelligent pressure control flexible ureteroscope for management of renal stones ≤2 cm.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 267 cases of renal calculi treated with flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy at Department of Urology, Ganzhou People′s Hospital from June 2015 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 129 male and 138 female patients, with a mean age of 51.2 years (ranging from 19 to 76 years). Among them, 145 patients underwent intelligent pressure control flexible ureteroscope (intelligent control group) and 122 patients underwent flexible ureteroscope ordinary (ordinary group). The t test, χ2 test or Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. The success rate of stone seeking, the stone free rates, the incidence of complications, the average operation time, the average hospital stay after operation were compared between the two groups.@*Results@#The average mean operative time of the patients with intelligent control group was (26.17 ± 8.64) minutes, significantly shorter than (47.23±18.35) minutes of the ordinary group (t=1.968, P=0.000). The stone free rate of the patients with intelligent control group was 97.2%, it was higher than 86.0% of ordinary group (χ2=0.069, P=0.004). The complication rate of the patients with intelligent control group was 2.7%, which was significantly shorter than 18.0% of the ordinary group (χ2=17.586, P=0.000). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the success rate of stone seeking and postoperative hospital stay (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Intelligent controlled pressure ureteral flexible ureteroscope has the advantages of short operation time, high stone free rate and less complications in the treatment of renal calculi ≤2 cm compared with flexible ureteroscope ordinary.
