Medical Expulsive Therapy Randomized Control Trial of 1136 patients with solitary ureteral stone Tamsulosin0.4 mg per day (391 patients) Nifedipine30 mg per day (387 patients) Placebo 1 pill per day (389 patients) Outcomes Primary: spontaneous stone passage rate Secondary: pain (days requiring analgesic use & severity), time to stone passage, quality of life survey Pickard et al. Lancet 2015; 386:

12 Medical Expulsive Therapy Results Spontaneous Passage Rate: No difference between 3 arms Time to Stone Passage: No difference between 3 arms Pain: No difference between 3 arms Quality of Life: No difference between 3 arms Comments Wide Eligibility Criteria: stones 10 mm, all ureteral locations Underpowered to assess efficacy for smaller distal stones Pickard et al. Lancet 2015; 386: 341. Lithotripsy Modalities Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Shock Wave Lithotripsy Background Developed in Germany in 1980 External shock waves used to fragment stone Advantages Least invasive, best tolerated Disadvantages Stone must be radio-opaque Some stones fragment poorly Fragments may remain in kidney Symptoms during fragment passage 12

13 UreteroscopicLithotripsy Background Developed in the 1990s Under continual refinement with new endoscopes Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy Advantages Laser fragments all types of stones Finer control of fragment size Ability to relocate stone to facilitate stone passage Ability to extract stone fragments Disadvantages More invasive than ESWL Often requires stent Greater risk of ureteral injury Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Background Developed in

14 Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Advantages Only modality to efficiently extract stone fragments Disadvantages Most invasive modality Highest Complication Rate Fever > 38.5 C (10.5%) Transfusion Rate (5.7%) Collecting System Perforation (3.4%) Hydrothorax (1.8%) Visceral Injury (<1%) de la Rosette et al.

Summary Nephrolithiasisaffects 10% of population at a cost of over $2 billon per year Without intervention recurrence rates approach 50% within 5 yrs Work-up First-Line: renal ultrasound for non-complicated patients Consider CT: critically ill, morbidly obese & those with lower index of suspicion for nephrolithiasis Summary Lithotripsyreserved for non-complicated patients failing trial of passage (plus/minus medical expulsive therapy) Shock wave, ureteroscopic, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy Patientswith multiple or recurrent stones should undergo a metabolic work-up Detailed history, serum studies and 24 hour urine collection Risk directed therapy instituted based upon results 18
