[Complication of ureterorenoscopy].

B Heinrichs, W Lutzeyer

    Der Urologe. Ausg. A

    Summary

    Ureterorenoscopy is a safe procedure with a high success rate. Complications like ureteral perforation are rare and manageable with interventions like ureteral splints or nephrostomy, reducing the need for open surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Endourology
    • Surgical Complications

    Context:

    • Ureterorenoscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure.
    • Complications associated with URS require careful management.
    • Literature review and clinical experience provide insights into URS outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the failures and complications of ureterorenoscopy.
    • To evaluate the management and consequences of ureteral injuries during URS.
    • To assess the impact of URS on the frequency of open ureteral surgery.

    Summary:

    • Ureteral perforation occurs in approximately 10% of ureterorenoscopy cases.
    • Perforation is typically managed conservatively with ureteral splints or percutaneous nephrostomy, avoiding significant sequelae.
    • Complete ureteral rupture is rare and necessitates open surgical intervention.

    Impact:

    • The low complication rate and high success of ureterorenoscopy can decrease the need for open ureteral operations.
    • Effective management of URS-related injuries enhances patient outcomes.
    • This analysis supports the continued adoption and refinement of ureterorenoscopy techniques.
