Impact of Forced Diuresis on the Residual Fragment Rate After Flexible Ureteroscopy for Destruction of Kidney Stones With Laser
- Registration Number
- NCT05916963
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Tours
- Brief Summary
In view of the positive results of the numerous studies conducted on forced diuresis after extra-corporeal lithotripsy, the investigators chose to evaluate forced diuresis by injection of Furosemide associated with intravenous hydration, which has never before been the subject of a specific analysis.
- Detailed Description
Flexible ureteroscopy is the most common technique to treat kidney stones and is the treatment of choice in France.
Kidney stones destruction requires its laser pulverization into small fragments in order to remove them through the ureter or improve their spontaneous expulsion along the urinary tract. However, most of the time, all the micro-fragments and dust created during stone destruction cannot be extracted using our surgical tools, and may stay intra-renally at the end of the procedure. Although these micro-fragments are expected to disappear spontaneously by the natural flushing and peristalsis of the upper urinary tract, they remain at risk of stagnation that could be the nest of new aggregation and stone formation.
Adjuvant treatments (such as forced diuresis, inversion or mechanical pressure) were previously described to improve the expulsion of stone fragments after extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Nevertheless, the impact of adjuvant treatment after flexible ureteroscopy remains unclear and mainly theoretical.
In view of the positive results of the numerous studies conducted on forced diuresis after extra-corporeal lithotripsy, the investigators chose to evaluate forced diuresis by injection of Furosemide associated with intravenous hydration, which has never before been the subject of a specific analysis.
Loop diuretics (including Furosemide) significantly increase diuresis, which results in a greater flow of urine into the renal cavities, improving the chances of evacuating the residual fragments of the stone destroyed during flexible ureteroscopy, before they can sediment in the fundus of the renal calices or in the pyelon. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that a forced diuresis with an injection of Furosemide at the end of ureteroscopy could improve the micro-fragments and stones dust clearance.

Group Intervention Description Furosemide Furosemide 40 mg Injection of 40 mg of Furosemide during 10 minutes after the end of the flexible ureteroscopy for destruction of kidney stones with laser.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of stone free patients At 3 months Rate of stone-free patients 3 months after a flexible ureteroscopy for renal stone laser destruction, evaluated on the low dose abdomino-pelvic CT-Scan.
A centralized review of the images will be performed by two specialized radiologists, in a blind and crossed way to allow a homogenization of the results
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Opioid consumption During the hospital stay, an average of 1 day The use of opioids will be reported
Pain in a scale During the hospital stay Post-operative pain will be assessed on numerical pain scale in the recovery room, in the service and at the discharge. Pain scale is from 0 (no pain) to 10 (as bad as it could be nothing else matters)
Rate of urinary infection From baseline to 30 days Rate of post-operative urinary tract infection will be assessed within 30 days after surgery on the combination of:
* Fever higher than 38.5°C and/or,
* Chills and/or,
* Clinical symptoms (supra-pubic pain, dysuria, pollakiuria, urgency, urinary burning, back pain radiating to the genitals, hematuria) and/or
* Positive urine culture with a significant bacteriuria threshold defined as bacteriuria ≥10\^5 UFC/mL with one or two bacterial species.Number of participants with adverse events From baseline to 3 months, an average of 1 day Number of participants with Furosemide adverse events
