Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of guide wire (with built-in wire in double J tube) in preventing the migration of stones during ureteroscopic treatment of the middle and lower ureteral stones.

Methods

Clinical data of 125 patients with the middle and lower ureteral stones receiving ureteroscopic holmium laser treatment in Central War Zone General Hospital from January 2016 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, guide wires were retained during lithotripsy in 69 cases (guide wire group), and no auxiliary lithotripsy device was employed in the remaining 56 patients (no guide wire group). The operation time, stone removal rate, postoperative complications and hospitalization expenses were statistically compared between the two groups.

Results

No postoperative complications, such as ureteral injury and severe infection occurred. The success rate of lithotripsy was 100% in the guide wire group, significantly higher than that in the no guide wire group 93% (P<0.05). The average operation time in the no guide wire group was (26.3±14.7) min, which did not significantly less than the guide wire group (25.2±12.8) min (P>0.05). There was no difference in operation cost between the two group.

Conclusion

Application of guide wire can effectively prevent the migration of ureteral stones during ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy for the middle and lower ureteral stones. Moreover, it has the advantages of high stone removal rate, high safety, few postoperative complications and no additional expenses.
