Multiple Comparison Tests01:13

Multiple Comparison Tests

Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...

Summary

Stone retrieval baskets are common in ureterorenoscopy. The ACMI Sur-Catch NT was significantly slower for stone capture and release compared to other baskets, suggesting simpler designs may be more efficient.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Stone retrieval baskets are widely used with ureterorenoscopy for stone manipulation and fragment removal.
  • The performance of different stone basket designs is crucial for procedural efficiency and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the performance of four different stone retrieval baskets: ACMI Sur-Catch NT, Bard Dimension, Boston Scientific Zero-tip, and Cook N-Circle.
  • To assess the efficiency of stone capture, release, and repositioning using these baskets in a porcine kidney model.

Main Methods:

  • Mechanical calipers measured basket opening characteristics.
  • A porcine kidney model was used with flexible ureterorenoscopy to place an 8-mm calculus in the lower pole.
  • Time to grasp, release, and reposition stones was recorded for each basket, with multiple attempts by multiple surgeons.

Main Results:

  • The ACMI Sur-Catch NT demonstrated significantly slower stone capture and release times compared to all other tested baskets (P < 0.001 for catch/release, P < 0.05 for total time).
  • No significant performance differences were found among the Bard Dimension, Boston Scientific Zero-tip, and Cook N-Circle baskets.
  • Surgeon and attempt number did not significantly impact basket performance.

Conclusions:

  • Baskets with complex wire configurations, such as the Sur-Catch NT, do not offer advantages and may impede stone capture and release.
  • Simpler stone basket designs may provide more efficient stone retrieval during ureterorenoscopy.
  • The study highlights potential performance disparities among commercially available stone retrieval baskets.
