A new sequence combining extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy simplifies complex kidney stone treatment. This approach reduces residual stones and the need for additional maneuvers, improving outcomes for renal lithiasis patients.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Complex renal lithiasis treatment often involves combined percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
  • Standard combined procedures frequently require adjuvant maneuvers and can result in significant residual stone burden.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel therapeutic sequence for complex renal lithiasis.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of a reversed sequence of ESWL followed by PCNL.

Main Methods:

  • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) was performed first on calices not accessible to the nephroscope.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was subsequently performed to extract fragmented stones.
  • This sequence aimed to simplify PCNL by reducing nephroscope movements and ultrasound use.

Main Results:

  • The new sequence simplified the percutaneous nephrolithotomy technique.
  • It decreased the need for nephroscope manipulation and ultrasound utilization.
  • A lower percentage of residual lithiasis was observed compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed therapeutic sequence of ESWL followed by PCNL offers a simplified approach to complex renal lithiasis.
  • This method effectively reduces residual stone burden and may decrease the need for adjuvant procedures.
