1 Urinary Lithiasis (Urinary Stone Disease) Dr WONG Tak Hing Bill Specialist in Urology, Pedder Clinic Hon Consultant Urologist, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Hon Director, Urology Centre, St Paul s Hospital Hong Kong Urinary Stone Which Stone Needs Tx? Stone size Stone location Obstruction Pelvicalyceal anatomy Urinary Stone Diagnosis & Assessment of Size Intravenous urography (IVU) Sensitivity 64 % Specificity 92 % Advantages: Radiation dose averages half that of NCCT Accurate in assessing stone size Disadvantages: Time consuming Potential contrast toxicity Non-contrast helical CT Sensitivity ~ 1 % Specificity ~ 98 % Advantages: Fast Demonstrates pathology outside urinary tract Disadvantages: Correctly measures stone transverse diameter, but tends to overestimate cranio-caudal length * Differentiation between calyceal & parenchymal calcification more difficult Ureteric Stone Spontaneous Passage Ueno, et al Urol 1:544, 1977 Size (mm) Overall Ureteric Stone Spontaneous Passage Proximal 1 % 42 % 2 % 6 % 22 % % Stones Passed Middle 1 % 83 % 55 % 62 % 57 % 46 % Morse, et al J Urol 145:263, 1991 Distal 85 % 93 % 69 % 55 % 45 % 25 % 71 % Renal Stone Medical Expulsive Therapy (MET) Ureteral smooth muscle relaxants: α-1 receptor blocker Tamsulosine, Alfuzosin, Doxazosin, Terazosin Calcium-channel blocker Nifedipine Duration 3 days Grade of Recommendation: A EAU Guidelines, 211 1
2 Renal Stone Medical Expulsive Therapy (MET) Renal Stone Factors affecting success of MET: Stone size & location Stone <5 mm need for analgesic Proximal ureteral stone 5-1 mm encourage migration After for ureteral & renal stone Expedite expulsion, stone-free rate, analgesic requirement After URSL (lithotripsy) stone-free rate, colic episodes Renal Stone Management Expectant treatment Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy () Percutaneous nephro-lithotripsy (PCNL) Flexible uretero-renoscopic lithotripsy (URSL) Retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS) Open nephro-lithotomy Nephrectomy Lithotriptors Four Main Parts 1. Shock wave generator 2. Shock wave focusing 3. Shock wave coupling 4.

If undertaken, adequate drainage should be established before treatment. 5
6 Treatment Options Indications for Tx Approaches +/- indwelling stent PCNL Debulking PCNL + Open surgery Retrograde URSL Combined PCNL & Major stone burden Central & peripheral stone load Open surgery Massive stone burden - that requires a considerable no. of treatment sessions Concomitant reconstructive surgery AUA Guideline 1994 As a guideline, percutaneous stone removal, followed by SWL &/or repeat percutaneous procedures as warranted, should be utilized for most standard patients with struvite staghorn calculi, with percutaneous lithotripsy being the first part of the combination therapy. Recommendation: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy should be the 1st treatment for most patients. AUA Nephrolithiasis Clinical Guidelines Panel J Urol 151:1648, 1994 : Criteria of Success Clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) Residual fragments </= 4 mm Ca oxalate/phosphate calculi Normal anatomy of upper urinary tract No UTI No symptoms after No adjuvant therapy required Prone oblique Prone Lateral Supine PCNL Positioning 6

Option: Open surgery can be considered.. when the stone is not expected to be removed by a reasonable number of less invasive procedures. Especially when Staghorn calculi extremely large Anatomy of collecting system unfavourable Abnormalities of body habitus, like extreme morbid obesity Recommendation: Nephrectomy should be considered when the involved kidney has negligible function.
