Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in treating upper urinary calculi. Methods: The clinical data of 75 patients with upper urinary calculi who underwent RIRS during 2016 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-four patients with urosepsis served as urosepsis group and 51 patients without urosepsis as non-urosepsis group. All patients underwent the drainage by inserting a double-J ureteral stent under retrograde cystoscope and controlled infection before RIRS. Specially, the ureteral stent insertion was performed immediately when patients were diagnosed as urosepsis. The operation was performed after infection control. The operation time, the loss of hemoglobin post-operation, the increase of white blood cell post-operation, the increase of serum procalcitonin (PCT) post-operation, post-operative hospital stay, stone-free rate (SFR) and surgery-related complications were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in terms of the operation time, the loss of hemoglobin post-operation, the increase of white blood cell post-operation, the PCT post-operation, post-operative hospital stay, SFR and surgery-related complications (P > 0.05). Significant difference was found between the two groups in regard to post-operative hospital stay [(3.3±1.2) d vs. (2.6±1.1) d, t=2.235, P=0.028]. Conclusions: The upper ureter calculi with urosepsis is a dangerous disease. RIRS is the save and effective treatment after drainage with a double-J tube and infection control. It's worthy to be widely applied in all kinds of hospitals.
