Comparison of 2 Kinds of Methods for the Treatment of Bladder Calculi - 11/04/18
Abstract |
Objective |
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sheath (JQL sheath) in the treatment of bladder calculi.
Materials and Methods |
We used the novel sheath that we have invented. The water sealing cap can only be passed through the ureteroscope without water leakage, and the diameters of the side hole and the sheath are sufficiently large. The clinical data of the 2 groups of patients include 45 cases of the novel sheath group and 41 cases in the control group.
Result |
The overall success rate of the 2 groups was 94.79%. The success rate of the new stone sheath group was 97.78% and that of the control group was 90.24%. The operation times were 25.8 ± 12.5 and 46.6 ± 26.3 minutes for the new stone sheath and control groups, respectively. The stones were divided into 3 groups according to their sizes: less than 1.5, 1.5-2.5, and greater than 2.5 cm. The durations of the novel sheath groups were 12.5 ± 6.5, 24.5 ± 9.5, and 37.5 ± 11.5 minutes, whereas those of the control groups were 17.6 ± 6.5, 39.5 ± 18.5, and 49.5 ± 20.5 minutes. Five patients with unsuccessful endovascular treatment were treated with open surgery. Among the 5 cases, 1 case belongs to the novel sheath group and 4 cases to the control group.
Conclusion |
The novel sheath, whose production is simple and low cost, improves the efficiency of transurethral treatment of bladder calculi and shortens the operation time; furthermore, it involves skills that can be easily mastered and presents clinical application value.
