Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) and flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) in management of lower pole kidney stones.Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Data were searched from the beginning of database to September 2016 and clinical trials that compared the two above operation for treatment of lower pole stones were collected.Two researchers independently filtered literature,extracted data and evaluated the methodological quality of research papers.The meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software.Results One randomized and seven non-randomized studies were analyzed, which consists of 621 patients including MPCNL group 327 cases, FURL group 294 cases.The results of meta-analysis showed that MPCNL was better than FURL in stones clearance (OR =2.65,95％ CI 1.58-4.46,P ＜ 0.01) and operative time (WMD =-21.86,95％ CI-28.52--15.20, P ＜ 0.01).FURL was better in hospital stay time (WMD =2.28,95％ CI 0.29-4.28, P =0.02), decrease in haemoglobin levels (WMD =0.78,95 ％ CI 0.68-0.89, P ＜ 0.01), bleeding (OR =5.11,95 ％ CI 1.12-23.31,P =0.04), transfusion(OR =7.04,95％ CI 1.59-31.15, P =0.01).There was no significant difference in fever,urinary tract infection, hematuria (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Both MPCN and FURL are safe and effective for the treatment of lower pole stones, MPCNL can get higher stone clearance rates and shorter operation time.However, FURL can get shorter hospitalization time and lower complication rates.

Objective: To investigate the sexual function, urinary function and quality of life in patients of ulcerative colitis(UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP) after total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). Methods: The clinical data of patients with UC and FAP undergoing IPAA at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from Jan 2006 to Sep 2018 were reviewed , postoperative sexual function, urinary function, and long-term quality of life were assessed. Results: There were 45 patients with median age of 35 years , median follow-up time of 31 months. 18 were UC, 27 were FAP, 5 did 1-stage surgery, 37 did 2-stage surgery, 3 for 3-stage surgery, 13 underwent open surgery, and 32 underwent laparoscopic surgery. 7 patients suffered sexual dysfunction after IPAA, and there was no statistical difference between male and female (P=0.992), UC and FAP (P=0.153), 1-stage , 2-stage , and 3-stage surgery (P=0.363) , with statistically significant difference between the open group and the laparoscopic group (P=0.025). 6 patients complicated with urinary dysfunction after IPAA , and there was no statistical difference between male and female (P=0.562), UC and FAP (P=0.325), 1-stage, 2-stage, and 3-stage surgery (P=0.286) , with statistically significant difference between the open group and the laparoscopic group (P=0.007). The Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) score after IPAA was 0.696±0.085. There were no statistical difference on CGQL scores in males and females (P=0.635), UC and FAP (P=0.664), 1-stage, 2-stage, and 3-stage (P>0.05), open group and laparoscopic group (P=0.205), postoperative long-term QOL was significantly associated only with age at the time of surgery (P=0.001). Conclusions Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic TPC-IPAA patients had better postoperative sexual function and urination function.
