详细描述
Purpose:
The aim of this research is to determine an effective regimen for definitive surgical therapy of bilateral kidney stones. It is unknown whether patients who undergo simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) experience improved post-operative outcomes compared to patients who have staged unilateral procedures.
Hypothesis and Justification The gold standard for surgical management of large kidney stones is percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). A large renal stone burden has been defined as >20mm. In addition, PCNL has improved stone-free rates for lower pole calculi >10mm compared to alternative treatments. Guidelines encourage removal of staghorn calculi for surgical candidates (Assimos et al., 2016). Patients with bilateral large stone burdens have been managed with one of two general options: (i) a single procedure in which both kidneys are operated upon or (ii) two separate procedures in which only one kidney is addressed per procedure. However, there are no prospectively performed peer-reviewed studies directly comparing the two practices. The investigators seek to determine whether there is a significant difference in patient outcomes based on the surgical regimen chosen.
The investigators hypothesize that in comparison to unilateral PCNL (U-PCNL), simultaneous bilateral PCNL (SB-PCNL) under one anesthetic results in comparable
- stone free rates
- re-intervention rates for residual stones and
- perioperative complication rates
