The Results of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) in Pediatric Urolithiasis Treatment: A Single Center Experience

Abstract

Background: Our aim is to evaluate the treatment results of children who underwent ESWL for urolithiasis
Materials and Methods: Records of children who underwent ESWL between October 2018 and October 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups according to success and compared in terms of age, gender, stone size, stone location, complications, and additional interventions.
Results: Of the 50 cases, 34(68%) were boys and 16(32%) were girls. The mean age was 8.8 ± 5.0 years. 36 of the stones were located in the kidney and 14 were in the proximal ureter. The average stone size was 9.4±1.8 mm in the successful ESWL group and 13.8±3.2 mm in the unsuccessful group (p <0.05). While the success was 90% for stones less than 10 mm, it was found to be 56.7% for stones over 10 mm (p <0.05). Total success was 70%. There was no significant correlation between age, gender, side and localization of stones and ESWL success (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: ESWL is an effective and safe treatment method for children with urolithiasis. Stone size is an important factor affecting success. Especially for stones ≥10 mm, there is a need for studies that will provide the maximum benefit per session and reveal the predictions that can prevent an unsuccessful application.

Pediatrik Ürolitiyazis Tedavisinde Beden Dışı Şok Dalga Litotripsi (ESWL) Sonuçlarımız: Tek Merkez Deneyimi

Abstract

Amaç:Bu çalışmadaamacımız ürolitiyazis nedeniyle ESWL uyguladığımız çocukların tedavi sonuçlarını değerlendirmektir. Materyal ve metod:Ekim 2018–Ekim 2020 tarihleri arasında anestezi altında ESWL uygulanan çocukların kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastalar ESWL başarısına göre iki gruba ayrılarak yaş, cinsiyet, taş boyutu, taş lokalizasyonu, komplikasyonlar ve ek müdahaleler açısından karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular:Çalışmaya dahil edilen 50 olgunun 34(%68)’ü erkek, 16(%32)’sı kız idi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı8,8±5,0yıl idi. Taşların 29’u sağ, 21’i sol taraftaydı. Taşların 36’sı böbrek, 14’ü ise proksimal üreter yerleşimliydi.ESWL başarılı grupta taş boyutu ortalama 9.4±1.8 mm, başarısız grupta ise 13.8±3.2 mm olarak saptandı(p<0.05).10mm’nin altındaki taşlarda ESWL başarısı %90 iken, 10mm üzerindeki taşlarda %56.7 olarak bulundu(p<0,05). Toplam başarı % 70 idi. Yaş, cinsiyet, taşların tarafı ve lokalizasyonları ile ESWL başarısı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı(p>0,05). İki hastada taş yolu, 1 hastada üriner enfeksiyon ve 5 hastada geçici hematüri görüldü. Sonuç:Ürolitiyazisli çocuklarda ESWL etkili ve güvenli bir tedavi yöntemidir. Taş boyutu başarıyı etkileyen önemli bir faktördür. Özellikle ≥10 mm taşlarda, seans başına maksimum yararlanmayı sağlayacak ve başarısız bir uygulamanın önüne geçebilecek öngörüyü ortaya çıkaracak çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
