Objective: To evaluate the management of ureterolithiasis using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) EDAP Sonolith Technomed compared to ureteroscopy (URS) with holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy. Material & Method: Research was conducted at Central Pertamina Hospital Jakarta by comparative analysis. The data was taken from patients’ medical records diagnosed with ureterolithiasis who had been treated from January to Desember 2009.Results: Central Hospital Pertamina Jakarta had treated 127 patients with urolithiasis from January to December 2009. Most frequent therapeutic modality was URS, which was followed by ESWL.Double J stents were used in 19,8% of the treatmentin combination with URS, more common than ESWL. Stone free rate in urolithiasis was not significantly different between treatment with URS and ESWL, although stone free rate of URS was higher than ESWL.Use of DJ stent didn’t affect stone free rate of urolithiasis from two of these modalities.Conclusion: Stone free rate of these modalities was below of stone free rate at literatures published, because evaluation from stone free rate of this research was taken after the treatment or 1-2 days after the treatment with imaging of KUB and USG.Keywords: Urolithiasis, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopic,DJ stent, stone free rate.

Edmundas Štarolis, Laimutis Andreika, Egidijus Gatelis, Valdemaras Dasevičius, Darius ŠilinisVilniaus miesto universitetinės ligoninės Urologijos skyrius,Antakalnio g. 57 LT-10207 VilniusEl paštas: [email protected] Įvadas / tikslas Ekstrakorporinė smūginės bangos litotripsija dažniausia yra pirmo pasirinkimo būdas gydant šlapimtakių akmenligę. Mes įvertinome akmenų dilimo ir išsivalymo rezultatus, atsižvelgdami į akmenų padėtį, dydį, hidronefrozės laipsnį, akmens įstrigimo šlapimtakyje laiką, inkstų dieglių skausmus. Ligoniai ir metodai Atlikus retrospektyvųjį tyrimą, įvertinti 362 ligonių 371 šlapimtakių akmens šalinimo rezultatai. Nuo 2003 m. sausio 1 d. iki 2004 m. gruodžio 31 d. atliktos 702 gydymo procedūros. Akmenų padėtis ir dydis buvo įvertinami apžvalginės urogramos ar intraveninių urogramų būdu, inkstų diegliai ir akmenų įstrigimo laikas – iš anamnezės ir klinikinių duomenų, hidronefrozės laipsnis – atliekant ultragarsinį inkstų tyrimą ir intravenines urogramas. Skilimo rezultatas įvertintas išrašant ligonį iš stacionaro, likusių fragmentų pasišalinimas – po 3 mėnesių rentgenografijos būdu. Gydymas buvo neveiksmingas, jei rasti likę 4 mm ar didesni fragmentai. Rezultatai Šlapimtakių viršutinio ir apatinio trečdalio akmenys statistiškai reikšmingai geriau fragmentuojasi ir išsivalo negu vidurinio trečdalio. Lyginant viršutinio ir apatinio trečdalio akmenų šalinimo rezultatus, skirtumo nerasta. Inkstų diegliai neturėjo įtakos nei fragmentacijos, nei išsivalymo rezultatams. Hidronefrozės laipsnis turėjo įtakos skilimo rezultatams (didesnio hidronefrozės laipsnio naudai), bet lyginant pagal šį požymį išsivalymo rezultatus, statistiškai reikšmingo skirtumo nepastebėta. Pagal gydymo baigties priklausomybę nuo akmens įstrigimo šlapimtakyje laiko, fragmentacijos rezultatai nesiskyrė, bet išsivalymas statistiškai reikšmingai geresnis, jei akmuo įstrigęs mažiau nei prieš 1 mėn. Dažniausia rezultatai skyrėsi grupių, suskirstytų pagal akmenų dydį: gauta atvirkštinė gydymo rezultatų priklausomybė tiek fragmentacijos, tiek išsivalymo atžvilgiu. Išvados Geriausi gydymo rezultatai gauti šalinant šlapimtakių viršutinio ir apatinio trečdalio nedidelius (iki 7 mm), neseniai (iki 1 mėn.) įstrigusius akmenis. Inkstų diegliai neturėjo įtakos gydymo rezultatams.

We investigated fragmentation and stone-free rates, depending of their localization, presence of renal colic, degree of hydronephrosis, the impact time and size of the stones. Patients and methods There is a retrospective study evaluating treatment of 371 ureteral stones for 362 patients in our department since January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2004. A total of 702 treatment sessions have been performed. Localization and size of the stones were evaluated by plain X-ray and / or intravenous pyelography. Presence or absence of renal colic, the time of impact were evaluated by anamnesis and clinical features and the degree of hydronephrosis by ultrasound and / or intravenous pyelography. The fragmentation rate has been evaluated before discharging and stone-free rate 3 months later by X-ray. Treatment failure has been considered, if 4 mm or larger fragments were still present. Results Stones in the upper and lower ureter, comparing with those in the middle, had a statistically significantly better fragmentation and stone-free rates. There was no significant difference in the treatment results between the upper and lower ureter stones. Presence or absence of renal colic did not correlate with fragmentation nor stone-free rates. The degree of hydronephrosis correlated with fragmentation rate in favour of a higher dilatation group, but not with a stone-free rate. Fragmentation rate did not correlate with the time of impact, but a correlation has been found comparing these two groups by stone-free rate, in favour of the shorter time of impact. The correlation was best comparing the groups according to the size of stones. The smaler stone-size groups demonstrated a statistically significantly better fragmentation as well as higher stone-free rates. Conclusions We found extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment most effective for treating the upper and lower ureter, smaller size (< 7 mm), shorter time of impact (less than 1 month) stones. Presence or absence of renal colic did not correlate with fragmentation nor stone-free rates. Keywords: extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, ureteral calculi, treatment

— The aim of this work has been to check the frequency and to assess which manoeuvres are necessary in treating the steinstrasse after ESWL. 1779 patients (1360 with renal and 419 with ureteral stones) underwent in-situ ESWL. 68 patients developed a steinstrasse in the immediate 24 hours following treatment. In 85% of the cases (58/68) there was dilation of the urinary tract. In 39 patients the steinstrasse was spontaneously eliminated within 10 days, while in the remaning 29 an auxiliary manoeuvre was necessary. These manoeuvres required further admittance to hospital or prolungation of stay, but created no statistically significant differences in the stone free rate 2 months after treatment (96 and 97% respectively, p< 0.001). Our experience would indicate that the incidence of steinstrasse after ESWL in situ is quite low (3.8%) and the necessity for auxiliary manoeuvres is extremely rare (1.6%).
