Abstract
Background
Extracorporeal lithotripsy effectiveness is limited in lower calyx stones. Ureteroscopy currently enables complete access to the collecting system. Stones located in the lower pole at an infundibulopelvic angle < 70°, infundibular length > 3 cm, and infundibular width < 5 mm have a greater risk for residual stones.
Aim
To determine whether the anatomic variants of the left pole hinder stone resolution with flexible ureteroscopy.
Material and methods
A retrospective, analytic study was conducted. It included 109 cases of patients that underwent flexible ureteroscopy for lower pole stones (5-20 mm) diagnosed through tomography within the time frame of 2010-2015.
Results
Infundibular length was: 31.10 ± 7.53 and 27.27 ± 5.4 mm (p = 0.151), infundibular width: 10.36 ± 2.66 and 9.13 ± 2.1 mm (p = 0.094), and infundibulopelvic angle: 61.36 ± 7.23 and 74.63 ± 8.75° (p = 0.001) in patients with residual stones and in those with no evidence of stone burden, respectively.
Discussion
An infundibulopelvic angle < 70° has a 38-fold greater risk for residual stones in our population (95% CI: 4.24-29.12).
Conclusions
The infundibulopelvic angle had a statistically significant influence on stone-free status in patients in our population with stones in the lower pole that underwent flexible ureteroscopy.
期刊介绍:
Revista Mexicana de Urología (RMU) [Mexican Journal of Urology] (ISSN: 0185-4542 / ISSN electronic: 2007-4085) is bimonthly publication that disseminates research by academicians and professionals of the international medical community interested in urological subjects, in the format of original articles, clinical cases, review articles brief communications and letters to the editor. Owing to its nature, it is publication with international scope that disseminates contributions in Spanish and English that are rigorously reviewed by peers under the double blind modality. Neither journalistic documents nor those that lack rigorous medical or scientific support are suitable for publication.
