Abstract

Objective: We have analyzed the difficult cases in ureterorenoscopic surgery in this study. Materials and methods: We have evaluated 117 patients&#8217; records retrospectively that has operated because of ureteric stone with ureterorenoscopy, which were evaluated as difficult cases in our clinic between 2001-2008. Difficult case criteria were the stricture that prevents or makes difficult the passage of ureterorenoscope in the ureter, the upper ureteric stones, previous ureteric surgery, high risk patients due to comorbidity. Results: The localization of the stones were 77.8% (n=91) upper ureter, 8.5% (n=10) middle ureter, and 13.7% (n=16) lower ureter. The stricture of ureter that complicates the surgery was seen at the first distal 5 cm in 82% (n=96) of the patients (p<0.05). Of the patients, 40.9% (n=47) failed to continue operations due to stricture of the ureter. The operation failure were detected in 39% of lower, 70% of middle, and 25% of upper ureter localized stones. Conclusion: Endoscopic ureter stone surgery could safely be performed in difficult cases. Ureteral stricture might be the one of the frequent factors.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada üreterorenoskopik cerrahide zor olguların analizi yapılmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Kliniğimizde 2001-2008 yılları arasında üreter taşı tanısıyla endoskopik üreter taşı tedavisi yapılan ve bu operasyon sırasında zor olgu olarak değerlendirdiğimiz 117 hastanın geriye dönük kayıtları incelendi. Zor olgu değerlendirme kriterleri; üreterde üreterorenoskopun geçişini zorlaştıran ve/veya engelleyen darlık bulunması, taşın üst üreter lokalizasyonu, geçirilmiş üreteral cerrahi varlığı ve komorbidite nedeniyle yüksek risk oluşturma olarak belirlendi. Bulgular: Hastalardaki taş lokalizasyonları; %77.8 (n=91) alt, %8.5 (n=10) orta ve %13.7 (n=16) üst üreter idi. Ameliyatı zorlaştıran darlık hastaların %82’sinde (n=96) üreterin distal ilk 5 cm’lik kısmında görüldü (p<0.05). Hastaların %40.9’unda (n=47) üreterdeki darlık nedeniyle operasyona devam edilemedi. Operasyona devam edilememe oranları alt, orta ve üst üreter taş lokalizasyonunda sırasıyla %39, %70 ve %25 olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: Endoskopik üreter taşı tedavisi, zor olgularda da güvenle uygulanabilecek bir cerrahi yöntemdir. Üreteral darlık en sık karşılaşabileceğimiz zorluk faktörü olabilir.
