This study introduces a novel, direct-access ureterolithotomy technique. This minimally invasive approach offers comparable outcomes to laparoscopic surgery with simpler, faster procedures and lower instrument costs.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is a common approach for ureterolithotomy.
  • Existing minimally invasive techniques may have limitations in direct visualization or instrument cost.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an alternative, direct-access, minimally invasive surgical method for ureterolithotomy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and initial outcomes of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a special open-lumen retractorscope (Jakoscope) with integrated fiberoptic lighting.
  • Retroperitoneal ureterolithotomy performed through a minilumbotomy incision using modified standard instruments.
  • Direct, stereoscopic visualization of the operative field without video-optical support.

Main Results:

  • The surgical approach is minimally invasive, with a skin incision of 3-4 cm.
  • Procedures are characterized by simplicity and speed.
  • Postoperative pain and morbidity were found to be comparable to the laparoscopic approach.
  • The required instruments are cost-effective.

Conclusions:

  • This direct-access ureterolithotomy represents a viable, cost-effective alternative to laparoscopic surgery.
  • The technique offers advantages in terms of direct visualization and procedural simplicity.
  • Further studies are warranted to confirm long-term efficacy and broader applicability.
