ABSTRACT
Objective:
In this study, our clinical results of extracorporeal shock wave
lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of upper ureteral stones were
analyzed, and discussed under the literature knowledgment.
Materials and Methods: The data of 64 patients over 18 years
old and who were treated with ESWL between March 2017 and August
2018, were evaluated retrospectively. The sexes, stone
dimensions,
hydronephrosis grades and treatment results were evaluated.
Results:
The mean age, stone size and number of the ESWL session of the
patients were 50.02 ±
18.03
years, 13.36 ± 3.24 mm and 1.85 ± 0.99, respectively. A total of 52
(81.25%) patient's upper
ureteral
stones were completely eliminated. Five patients had stone street in
the distal ureter, 3
patients
did not tolerate ESWL and 4 patients had insufficient stone
fragmentation. Ureterorenoscopy
was used for the treatment of these patients. None
of the patients had major life-threatening complication.
Conclusion:
We think that, with low complication and high success rates in the
treatment of upper ureteral
stones, ESWL should be preferred primarily.
Amaç:
Bu çalışmada üst üreter taşlarının tedavisinde vücut dışı
şok dalgası ile taş kırma (ESWL)
sonuçlarımız analiz edilmiş ve literatür eşliğinde
tartışılmıştır.
Gereç
ve Yöntem: Mart
2017 ile Ağustos
2018
tarihleri arasında üst üreter taşı tanısı ile ESWL
tedavisi yapılan 18 yaş üstü 64 hastaya ait bilgiler geriye dönük
olarak incelendi. Hastaların cinsiyetleri, taş boyutları,
hidronefroz dereceleri, tedavi sonuçları değerlendirildi.
Bulgular:
Hastaların
ortalama yaşları, taş boyutları ve uygulanan ESWL
seans sayıları sırası ile 50.02±18.03 yıl , 13,36±3.24 mm ve
1.85±0.99 idi.
Toplam
52 (%81.25) hastanın üst üreter taşı tamamen temizlendi.
Geri kalan 12 hastanın 5’inde distal üreterde taş yolu
oluşması, 3’ünde ESWL
tolere edememesi ve 4’ünde yetersiz taş fragmantasyonu sebebi ile
tedavide üreterorenoskopi kullanıldı. Hiçbir hastada hayati
tehlike oluşturacak majör komplikasyon izlenmedi.
Sonuç:
Üst
üreter taşlarının tedavisinde düşük komplikasyon ve yüksek
başarı oranları ile ESWL’nin
ön planda değerlenderilmesi gereken bir tedavi modalitesi
olduğu düşüncesindeyiz.
