Мочекаменная болезнь является одной из главных проблем современной урологии как наиболее часто встречающаяся патология органов мочевой системы и составляющая 30 - 50% всех больных урологических стационаров. Целью настоящего исследования явилось изучение эффективности применения препарата «Фитолизин» у больных мочекаменной болезнью. В основу исследования положены результаты лечения 160 (85 женщин и 75 мужчин) пациентов, находившихся на стационарном лечение, средний возраст больных составил 42,2±12,4 года, длительность заболевания от 1-3 до 72 часов, размер конкрементов, в том числе и дезинтегрированных фрагментов после дистанционной ударно-волновой литотрипсии и контактно-лазерная литотрипсия варьировал от 0,4 до 0,8 см. Все больные были разделены на две группы. В основную группу вошли 70 больных, получавших помимо традиционной симптоматической терапии (спазмолитики и водная нагрузка) «Фитолизин» по 43 мл 3 раза в день. В контрольной группе (90 больных) проводилась только традиционная терапия. При включение в терапию препарата «Фитолизин» самостоятельное отхождение отмечено у 64(91,4%) больных, частота возникновения почечной колики имело место у 7(10%), лейкоцитурия - у 14(20%), бактериурия - у 10(15%). Применение фитопрепарата «Фитолизин» в составе комплексной терапии, является эффективным методом консервативного лечения больных мочекаменной болезнью и после после дистанционной ударно-волновой литотрипсии и контактно-лазерная литотрипсия в 90,9% случаев в отношении самостоятельного отхождения конкрементов. Urolithiasis is one of the main problems of modern urology as the most common pathology of the urinary system and makes up 30 - 50% of all patients in urological hospitals. The purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness of the use of the drug "Phytolysin" in patients with urolithiasis. The study is based on the treatment results of 160 (85 women and 75 men) patients who were hospitalized, the average age of the patients was 42.2 ± 12.4 years, the duration of the disease from 1-3 to 72 hours, the size of the stones and disintegrated fragments after remote shock wave lithotripsy and contact laser lithotripsy ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 cm. All patients were divided into two groups. The main group included 70 patients who received in addition to the traditional symptomatic therapy (antispasmodics and water load) "Phytolysin" 43 ml 3 times a day. In the control group (90 patients), only traditional therapy was performed. When "Phytolysin" was included in the therapy, independent discharge was observed in 64 (91.4%) patients, the incidence of renal colic occurred in 7 (10%), leukocyturia in 14 (20%), bacteriuria in 10 (15%). The use of the phytopreparation "Phytolysin" as a part of complex therapy is an effective method of conservative treatment of patients with urolithiasis and after remote shock-wave lithotripsy and contact laser lithotripsy in 90.9% of cases with regard to self-discharge of calculi.

AbstractA 19-year-old man complaining of anuria for 1 day was presented. A ureteral stent was indwelled 3 months ago for preventing ureteral obstruction and protecting kidney function. Abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a solitary pelvic ectopic kidney (PEK) and severe hydronephrosis. And the ureteral stent was covered by encrustations which caused ureteral obstruction. The stent had been retained in his ureter for more than 3 months until he was admitted. It couldn’t be removed after shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) or flexible ureteroscope laser lithotripsy (f-URS). Finally, we had to conduct open surgery which was an alternative option. The stent was replaced by a new one successfully. The patient was discharged safely without postoperative complications. After 2 months of follow-up, the patient’s renal function remained stable.

Objectives: We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy and outcome of shock wave lithotripsy versus semirigid ureteroscopy in the management of the proximal ureteral stones of diameter exceeding 15 mm. Methods: During the 2009−2014 study period, 147 patients presenting with the proximal ureteral stones exceeding 15 mm in diameter were treated. Both shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy were offered for our patients. A 6/8.9 Fr semirigid ureteroscope was used in conjunction with a holmium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser. The stone-free rate was assessed at 2 weeks and 3 months post-treatment. All patients were evaluated for stone-free status, operation time, hospital stay, perioperative complications, and auxiliary procedures. Results: Of the 147 patients who took part in this study, 66 (45%) had undergone shock wave lithotripsy and 81 (55%) underwent ureteroscopy. At the 3-month follow-up, the overall stone-free rate in the shock wave lithotripsy group was 39/66 (59%) compared to 70/81 (86.4%) in the ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy group. Ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy achieved a highly significant stone-free rate ( p = 0.0002), and the mean operative time, auxiliary procedures, and postoperative complication rates were comparable between the two groups. Conclusion: In terms of the management of proximal ureteral stones exceeding 15 mm in diameter, ureteroscopy achieved a greater stone-free rate and is considered the first-line of management. Shock wave lithotripsy achieved lower stone-free rate, and it could be used in selected cases.
