Abstract

The present study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the removal of unilateral staghorn renal stones with concurrent infections by retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (RLP) with prolonged renal posterior lower segment incision. Patients with staghorn renal stone and concurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) who underwent RLP with prolonged renal posterior lower segment incision as the primary, one‑session treatment at our institution between March 2014 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Routine laboratory tests were performed and the patients received broad‑spectrum intravenous antibiotics from at least 3 days prior to the operation. All patients were examined pre‑operatively by urinary ultrasonography, computed tomography or intravenous urography. UTI was confirmed by laboratory tests with or without radiographic evidence by an experienced urologist. All patients (18 females and 10 males) successfully underwent the procedures and there was no conversion to open surgery in any case. The mean age was 57.0±10.81 years (age range, 40‑74 years) and the mean calculus size was 3.3±0.79 cm. The mean operation time, warm ischemia time and post‑operative hospital stay were 114.4±12.09 min, 28.1±4.23 min and 5.8±1.42 days, respectively. The mean hemoglobin drop on day 3 following surgery was 0.5±0.38 g/dl and there was no requirement for blood transfusion in any patient. The mean change of serum creatinine levels between pre‑operative baseline and post‑operative day 3 or post‑operative month 6 was 6.0±20.03 or ‑4.5±15.13 µmol/l, respectively. The stone‑free rate was 100% at 3 days and at 6 months. Mild post‑operative complications (Grade I or II) occurred in 6 patients, including temporary and constant elevated body temperature (>38.5˚C). No severe complications, including urine leakage, sepsis, residual stones requiring auxiliary procedures, were noted and there were no circumstances requiring further surgical intervention in any of the patients. In conclusion, RLP with prolonged renal posterior lower segment incision is an effective and safe procedure for patients with staghorn renal stones and concurrent UTI, and its feasible application as a single‑session monotherapy is particularly convenient considering the financial and medical situation, as well as the patients' preference.
