Background: Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) produces ipsilateral somatic and sympathetic nerve blockade in multiple contiguous dermatomes both above and below the site of injection.  The Aim of This Study: was to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided TPVB versus intravenous (IV) sedative analgesic using midazolam / fentanyl in patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedure. Patients and Methods: This prospective, randomized study was carried out on sixty patients aged 20-60 years, with radio-opaque renal stone not more than1.5cm. TPVB group (30 patients) received ipsilateral ultrasound-guided TPVB at the level T9-T10 using bupivacaine 0.25% (20 mL) about 30 minutes before the ESWL. Midazolam/fentanyl group (30 patients) received sedatives analgesic drugs using IV midazolam (0.05 mg / kg) and fentanyl (1 µg/kg) about 5 min before the ESWL. The VAS score during and 30 min post procedure, total dose of rescue analgesic consumption during ESWL procedure, the success rate of ESWL, the time needed to stone clearance, patient and operator satisfaction scores were recorded. Result: During and after ESWL procedure, the VAS scores were significantly higher in midazolam/fentanyl group than TPVB group (P < 0.05). The number of patients required rescue analgesic during ESWL was significantly higher in midazolam/fentanyl group compared to TPVB group (P < 0.05).The success rate of ESWL was insignificantly different between both groups (P > 0.05). The time needed to stone clearance was significantly shorter in TPVB group compared to midazolam/fentanyl group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided TPVB provided more effective analgesia with reduced number of ESWL sessions and shorter time to renal stone clearance than IV midazolam/fentanyl.

Background: Urolithiasis is a common ailment that costs billions of Dollars everyyear. Recurrent urinary tract obstruction or urolithiasis may stimulate the fibrogenic flow, whichis responsible for the definite functional loss of renal parenchyma. In the few past years, themanagement of urinary calculi undertook a remarkable modification. Open surgery for stonesis nearly replaced by minimal or non-invasive operative procedures like ureterorenoscopy,percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). StudyDesign: Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Department of Urology Services HospitalLahore. Duration of Study: 1st January -30th December 2016. Material and methods: Thecomparative study of 60 cases through Non probability convenient sampling was conducted toevaluate the outcome of ESWL in patients with single lithiasis of lower pole calyx with differentinfundibulopelvic angles as measured on pre-treatment IVU. Results: The mean age of all thepatients was 33.70±10.72 years. Out of 60 Patients 32(53.3%) were males while 28(46.7%)were females with 1.14 male to female ratio. In group A, the mean LIPA was 78.83±4.71o andin group B, was 100.53±5.73o. The overall mean LIPA of the patients was 89.68±12.11o.Stoneclearance was noted in 39 (65%) patients. 15 patients (38.46%) and 24 patients (61.53%) ingroup A and B respectively. p-value=0.015. After ESWL stone clearance was more in patientshaving IPA ≥ 90°as compared to IPA 70-90o. Conclusion: Stone clearance is significantlyhigher with IPA>90o as compared to IPA70-90o.In future now we are able to implement the useof IPA>90o instead of using <90o that is more successful in achieving stone clearance.
