POS-01.98 Efficiency of combined pneumatic and ultrasonic lithotripsy with transluminal suction in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy Etemadian M, Shadpour P, Saidi A, Solemani MJ Hasheminejad Kidney Center (HKC), Iran University of Medical Science, Teh- ran, Iran Objective: Cross sectional analysis of the performance & efficacy of combined pneumatic/ultrasonic lithotripsy plus si- multaneous transluminal suction for per- cutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL). Method: From Oct 2005 to June 2006, fifty one patients underwent single session PCNL for upper urinary tract stone using this instrument. Performance and efficacy were measured by using procedure dura- tion, stone size, residual stones and com- plications as the indicators of success. Results: Stone size was 20 to 45 mm. The procedure spanned 65 to 110 minutes (85 on average). Of the 51 patients 88.23% were free of any fragment 2mm and the remaining 6 patients were rendered stone free by SWL.Two developed fever and another two had temporary urine leakfrom their nephrostomy site. No hem- orrhage occurred. Instruments required to be removed from the working sheath only 3 times per patient on average, even then for a plugged suction tip; consequently not a single displacement of Amplatz’ sheath was encountered. Conclusion: Combined pneumatic/ultra- sonic lithotripsy and suction is a depend- able, effective and rapid instrument for lithotripsy through PCNL.

Patients & Methods: From Feb.,2001 to Nov. 2006, 56 patients, 11 mo.-15 years old(Mean 8.6y), underwent PCNL in our centers, 35 boys, 21 girls, mean stone size 28mm (20-44), 7 were bilateral, 2 horse- shoe kidney, 38 at least one session SWL, 24 had previous open nephrolithotomy and/or pyeloplasty. Results: Of total 63 renal units, 55(87.3%) were stone-free in post-op. KUB x-ray, 3 had residual10mm, SWL done, 3 passed fragments5-6mm in 2 wks., one Re-PNL, and one underwent uretros- copy for migrated stone into distal ureter. Post-op. fever seen in 6 patiens, managed conservatively, Sodium depletion seen in 2 patients(Pure water irrigation), BUN, Cr. Raised in one of bilateral cases. No any other intra or post-op. complications. Conclusion: PCNL seems safe, effective and feasible in pediatric, as such as adults, with no more complications. POS-01.100 Management of 10-15 mm proximal ureteral stones: ureteroscopy or ESWL, a prospective patient preference trial Ziaee SAM 1 , Halimi MR 1 , Aminsharifi A 1 , Shafi H 2 , Basiri A 1,2 1 Urology Nephrology Research Center, Shaheed Beheshti Uinversity of Medical Sciences, 2 Babol Uinversity of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Introduction: To provide an appropriate evidence for treatment planning of pa- tients with upper ureteral stone, sized between 10-15mm by analyzing therapeu- tic outcomes in those undergoing semi- rigid ureteroscopic holmium:YAG-laser lithotripsy (URSL) and shock wave litho- tripsy (SWL) prospectively. Methods: During the study period, 197 patients with 10-15 mm proximal ureteral stone were included, of whom 166 were analyzed. Both URSL and SWL have been offered to them and based on patients’ preference the procedure have been con- templated. Ureteroscopy was conducted by a 7-8.9 Fr semirigid ureteroscope (Rich- ard wolf G.mbH, Knittlingen, Germany) and holmium: YAG laser (Coherent Medi- cal Systems, Santa Clara, California) with its 200m quartz fiber was utilized for lithotripsy. The endpoint of the study was stone free- ness on 3 months imaging studies. Pa- tients’ demographics, stone-free rate, op- eration time, complications and the need for any ancillary procedure were analyzed prospectively in the two groups. Results: 40 of 166 patients (24%) chose URSL and remaining 126 (76%) were un- dergone SWL. After 3 months of fellow up, the stone free rates of URSL (29 of 40 patients (75.5%)) and SWL (99 of 126 (78.6%)) groups, were statistically equal. (P0.42). Also mean operative time, the need for application of salvage procedures and post procedural complication rates were comparable between the two groups. Conclusion: We have shown that SWL has enough capacity for management of proximal ureteral stones sized 10 to 15mm. Despite the fact that ureteroscopy tends to make patients stone free faster, due to minimally invasive nature of SWL, patients still favors it to the ureteroscopy.

Ziaee SAM, Karami H, Aminsharifi A, Mehrabi S, Zand S, Javaherforooshzadeh A Urology Nephrology Research Center, Tehran, Iran Introduction: To assess the feasibility of one stage acute dilation of the nephrostomy tract with a 30F Amplatz dilator in patients candidate for percutaneous nephrolithot- omy (PCNL) regardless of having previous renal scar to make the procedure less time consuming and more cost effective. Methods: The outcome of one stage tract dilation for PCNL in 100 consecutive pa- tients with and without previous history of ipsilateral open stone surgery (OSS), treated by one surgeon was examined prospectively. Forty-six patients (group I) had previous history of ipsilateral OSS and 54 patients (group II) did not have such history. Demographic data as well as intraopera- tive information such as the access time and radiation exposure time during access were registered. Furthermore, the success- fulness of access technique and its bleed- ing complication were analyzed between the 2 groups. Results: By applying “one stage” tech- nique, with success rate of 93% the tar- geted calyx could be entered. There was no difference in procedural success rate between groups I and II (93.5% versus 92.6%; respectively). All 7 failures (7%; 3 with prior OSS) were managed success- fully using Alken dilator to gain access to the proposed calyx on the same session. Previous OSS did not have any impact on access time, radiation exposure time dur- ing access, post operational hemoglobin drop and bleeding complications. There were no visceral and vascular injuries. Conclusion: One stage tract dilation for PCNL is a safe and effective method in almost every adult patient; and can be effectively targeted every kidney calyces in a timely manner.
