Abstract
Objectives
To compare two different treatment strategies, one-stage and two-stage multi-tract mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mt-mPCNL), for pediatric complex renal calculus disease.
Methods
Between the period of July 2016 and July 2018, a total of 36 children aged 15 years and younger, with complex renal calculi disease, who underwent total ultrasound-guided mt-mPCNL by a single experienced urologist were enrolled in our study. All patients were assigned either to Group 1 (n = 18) who received one-stage mt-mPCNL or Group 2 (n = 18) who received planned two-stage mt-mPCNL.
Results
The demographic data were comparable between the two groups. There were no serious complications (Modified Clavien Grade ≥ III) observed in either group. The stone -free rate (SFR), operation time, postoperative creatinine increase, and perioperative complication rates were similar in both groups (P = 0.603, 0.818, 0.161, and 0.402, respectively). The postoperative hospital stay (5.8 days vs. 7.4 days) and cost (17373.3 CNY vs. 23717.1 CNY) were statistically less in Group 1. Group 2 had significantly less total estimated blood loss (70.6 ml vs. 130.0 ml, P < 0.001). The operation time of two cases in Group 1 with perioperative sepsis or systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was more than two hours.
Conclusions
Our preliminary results indicated that both one-stage and two-stage mt-mPCNL were safe and effective for pediatric complex renal calculi. Two-stage mt-mPCNL could significantly reduce blood loss; while one-stage mt-mPCNL could significantly decrease the length and costs of hospitalization. We also suggest that the planned two-stage mt-mPCNL should be applied in children with estimated operation time more than two hours.
