The new ACUCISE cutting probe effectively treats pyeloureteral junction (PUJ) obstruction in 100% of patients. This minimally invasive tool offers a precise cut, representing a significant advancement in surgical options for PUJ syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Pyeloureteral junction (PUJ) syndrome, or ureteropelvic junction obstruction, is a common cause of pediatric and adult kidney obstruction.
  • Traditional surgical treatments for PUJ syndrome include open pyeloplasty and laparoscopic techniques.
  • Minimally invasive approaches are sought to reduce patient morbidity and recovery time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the novel ACUCISE cutting probe for treating PUJ syndrome.
  • To describe the advantages and limitations of the ACUCISE probe.
  • To assess its potential as a replacement for existing PUJ syndrome treatment techniques.

Main Methods:

  • The ACUCISE cutting probe was used in a cohort of 10 patients diagnosed with pyeloureteral stricture.

  • A two-month indwelling stent period was followed by stent removal.
  • Patients underwent regular follow-up evaluations at two-month intervals post-stent removal.

    • Main Results:

    • Complete resolution of pyeloureteral stricture was achieved in all 10 patients (100% success rate).
    • No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported.
    • Optimal outcomes were observed in all cases to date.

    Conclusions:

    • The ACUCISE cutting probe represents a significant advancement in minimally invasive surgery for PUJ syndrome.
    • Its benefits, including precise and clean cutting, outweigh its disadvantages, such as the inability to be used in young children due to caliber.
    • The ACUCISE probe is a viable and effective alternative to conventional techniques for treating PUJ stricture.
