This study showcases 8 years of endo-urological procedures, including percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteroscopy, successfully treating 303 patients with kidney stones and other obstructive conditions. The techniques demonstrated high success rates with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endourology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Endourological procedures are vital for managing urological conditions.
  • Experience in percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteroscopy has grown significantly.
  • Evaluating outcomes of these minimally invasive techniques is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an 8-year experience with endourological procedures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteroscopy.
  • To compare outcomes between lithiasic and non-lithiasic patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 303 patients over 8 years.
  • Procedures included 92 percutaneous nephrostomies and 235 ureteroscopies.
  • Patients were divided into lithiasic and non-lithiasic groups.

Main Results:

  • Success rates of 85% for percutaneous nephrostomy and 98% for ureteroscopy.
  • 324 calculi removed and other obstructive conditions resolved.
  • Complications occurred in 7 patients (nephrostomy) and 14 patients (ureteroscopy), mostly managed endoscopically.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteroscopy are highly effective and safe endourological procedures.
  • Minimally invasive techniques offer significant advantages over conventional methods.
  • These procedures provide excellent outcomes for managing urological obstructions.
