Abstract

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of flexible ureteroscope combined with flexible terminal suction ureteral access sheath in the treatment of impacted ureteral calculi with a diameter of ≥1.5 cm,and to summarize related clinical experience. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 27 patients with impacted ureteral calculi with a diameter of ≥1.5 cm who received flexible ureteroscope combined with flexible terminal suction ureteral access sheath in The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2023 to February 2024. Results A total of 27 patients were enrolled,among whom there were 23 male patients and 4 female patients,with a mean age of (48.4±15.4) years and a mean body mass index of (23.7±3.2) kg/m2. Of all 27 patients,19 had ureteral calculi at the left side and 8 had ureteral calculi at the right side. The CT value of stones was (1097.6±268.7) HU. The mean length and width of calculi were (1.8±0.3) cm and (0.9±0.2) cm,respectively. As for the location of calculi,24 patients had upper ureteral calculi,2 had middle ureteral calculi,and 1 had lower ureteral calculi. There were 5 patients with ipsilateral renal calculi and 22 without renal calculi. The mean depth of hydronephrosis was (4.7±1.8) cm. There were 2 patients with negative preoperative urine white blood cells,13 with weakly positive(+) urine white blood cells,7 with positive(++) urine white blood cells,and 5 with strongly positive(+++) urine white blood cells. A total of 25 patients completed flexible ureteroscopy,and 2 patients changed the surgical procedure during surgery,with a mean time of operation of (86.7±46.4) minutes and a mean length of hospital stay of (3.1±1.7) days. The levels of white blood cells and hemoglobin were (8.0±2.4)×109/L and (135.1±21.4) g/L,respectively,before surgery,and (8.9±2.5)×109/L and (135.9±17.8) g/L,respectively,on day 1 after surgery. Reexamination on day 1 after surgery showed that 22 patients had no residual stones,while 5 had residual stones. The mean body temperature on the day after surgery was (36.2±0.2) ℃,with no clinical manifestations of urinary sepsis. Conclusion Flexible ureteroscope combined with flexible terminal suction ureteral access sheath is safe and effective in the treatment of impacted ureteral calculi with a diameter of ≥1.5 cm,with a relatively high stone clearance rate and a relatively low incidence rate of complications.
