چکیده

INTRODUCTION Hemorrhage is a major complication after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). In the current study, we analyzed the risk factors for severe bleeding after PCNL. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medical records of 982 consecutive patients undergoing PCNL at the Department of Urology, the Third Xiangya Hospital, were reviewed. The type of stone included: solitary (n = 471), multiple (n = 192) and staghorn (n = 319). 139 patients had renal stones of solitary kidney or functional solitary kidney. The puncture site was the inferior calyx in 246 cases, the middle calyx in 651 cases, and the upper calyx in the remaining 85 cases. RESULTS The success rate (complete removal of the stone) was 92.8%, 73.4%, and 80.9% for solitary, multiple and staghorn stones, respectively. Severe bleeding occurred in 3.25% (8/246) of the cases with inferior calyx access, and 0.3% (2/651) in cases with middle calyx access. No severe bleeding occurred in patients with upper calyx access. The bleeding was controlled successfully with focal embolization under angiography in all 10 cases. CONCLUSIONS Severe postoperative bleeding after PCNL is associated with renal puncture via the inferior calyx, multiple renal stones and solitary kidney stones.

بررسی میزان موفقیت جراحی پرکوتانئوس در درمان سنگ کلیه بیماران مبتلا به ناهنجاری‌های مادرزادی کلیوی

    Background & Aim: Patients with congenital renal abnormality are more prone to calculus formation and have less chance of spontaneous stone passage. Percutaneous treatment of patients with calculi in an abnormal kidney can be challenging due to the altered anatomical relationship in the retroperitoneum. Therefore, we performed a review to assess the safety and efficacy of this minimally inv...

Predicting calyceal access for percutaneous nephrolithotomy with computed tomography multiplanar reconstruction

OBJECTIVES Objective parameters in computed tomography (CT) scans that could predict calyceal access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy have not been evaluated. These parameters could improve access planning for percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We aimed to determine which parameters extracted from a preoperative multiplanar reconstructed CT could predict renal calyceal access during a percutaneou...

Kidney Access Device

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the most complicated stone surgery technique to learn. The steep learning curve is related mainly to obtaining precise renal access by puncturing the targeted calyx. A minimally misaligned puncture may lead to torrential bleeding, failure of the surgery, and complications. Renal puncture can take a long time, and the increased fluoroscopic time is a ...

Clinical efficacy and safety of transcatheter embolization for vascular complications after percutaneous nephrolithotomy

Introduction Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the preferred procedure for safe and effective surgical treatment of kidney stones. Hemorrhage is the most serious complication of PNL, resulting from pseudoaneurysm (PA) or arteriovenous fistula (AVF), and can usually be controlled with conservative treatment. Aim To evaluate endovascular treatments and outcomes of vascular complications obs...
