Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of one-stage flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy for bilateral kidney stones.Methods Retrospectively analyzed 112 patients with bilateral kidney stones treated by flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy from January 2018 to October 2023.Based on the treatment procedure,the participants were divided into an observation group and a control group.The observation group(60 cases)underwent one-stage lithotripsy using flexible ureteroscopy for bilateral kidney stones,the control group(52 cases)received staged lithotripsy for bilateral kidney stones.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,stone clearance rate one month after operation,postoperative hematuria time,duration of lumbar and abdominal pain,creatinine level one day after operation and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups of patients.Results Findings indicated that the observation group had a mean operation time of(103.68±27.46)min,which was significantly shorter compared to the control group's mean operation time of(132.51±39.74)min,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Additionally,the stone clearance rate after one month post-operation was 91.67%in the observation group and 90.38%in the control group(P=0.920);The average blood loss of the observation group was(15.29±5.15)mL,and the duration of postoperative lumbar and abdominal pain was(6.18±1.40)d,while the average blood loss of the control group was(12.00±3.62)mL,and the duration of postoperative lumbar and abdominal pain was(4.56±1.12)d,with significant difference(P<0.01);The duration of postoperative hematuria in the observation group was(3.07±0.92)d,the incidence of postoperative irritation sign of bladder was 65.00%,the incidence of postoperative moderate and low fever was 25.00%,and the creatinine level on the first day after surgery was(73.47±17.80)μmol/L,while the duration of postoperative hematuria in the control group was(2.73±1.28)d,the incidence of postoperative irritation sign of bladder was 53.85%,the incidence of postoperative moderate and low fever was 17.31%,and the creatinine level on the first day after surgery was(68.61±17.38)μmol/L,the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion One stage flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy for bilateral kidney stones is safe and effective,moreover,the surgical outcome is close to that of staged surgery,but postoperative nursing and pain management should be strengthened in order to improve the effect of comprehensive treatment.

Objective:To compare the safety of adrenal central vein treated at different times in laparoscopic adrenal pheochromocytoma resection through abdominal approach.Methods:A study was conducted on 43 patients with adrenal pheochromocytoma admitted to Xijing Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University from June 2012 to June 2019. The included patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method: observation group ( n=22) and control group ( n=21). The patients of observation group were ligated the central advenal vein before the tumor was completely isolated, and the patients of control group were ligated the central advenal vein after the tumor was isolated. The changes of blood catecholamine levels before anesthesia, before central adrenal vein ligation, and after tumor resection were compared between the two groups, as well as the differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, number of cases with intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations and frequency. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), comparison between groups was by t-test; comparison of count data between groups was by Chi-square. Results:There was no significant difference in the mean operation time, the mean hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, number of cases with dramatic blood pressure fluctuations between two groups ( P>0.05). The frequency of severe fluctuation of intraoperative blood pressure in observation group and control group was 19 times and 47 times, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the blood epinephrine and norepinephrine levels between the two groups before anesthesia and after tumor resection ( P>0.05). However, before ligation of the central vein, the epinephrine concentrations in the observation group and the control group were (572.1±282.1) pg/mL and (935.6±417.5) pg/mL, respectively, the noradrenaline concentrations were (8 347.9±4 103.6) pg/mL and (13 695.7 ±3 205.3) pg/mL, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Early ligation of the adrenal central vein can improve the safety of the laparoscopic approach to adrenal pheochromocytoma.
