Abstract:

Objective

To explore the influencing factors on the efficacy of holmium laser lithotripsy under rigid ureteroscope for upper ureteral calculi.

Methods

From January 2012 to December 2018, 1704 cases of upper ureteral calculi treated by rigid ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy were analyzed retrospectively. According to operative results, they were divided into successed group (n=1 560) and failed group (n=144). Two groups of parameters were compared, and analyzed related factors under logistic regression analysis about the success rate of holmium laser lithotripsy under rigid ureteroscope for upper ureteral calculi.

Results

In 1 704 cases, 1 560 cases underwent at one-stage lithotripsy successfully, and total success rate was 91.5%. There were significant effects in success rate of lithotripsy on the side and dwelling time of the calculi, the width of collecting system, the CT value and number of calculi, and with or without difficult access of ureteroscope (P<0.05). However, the presence of difficult access for the ureteroscope to reach the calculi was an independent influencing factor on the success, which was negatively correlated with the success of one-stage lithotripsy (regression coefficient=-1.233, P<0.01).

Conclusion

The high success rate of holmium laser lithotripsy under rigid ureteroscope for upper ureteral calculi could be achieved. Its efficacy was related to a variety of factors, and difficult access or not might be the main influence factor. Rigid ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy is still an ideal choice for minimally invasive surgical treatment for upper ureteral calculi.
