Abstract
Objective
To conduct a systematic review (SR) of literature to assess the existing evidence concerning the success and complications of endourological ex vivo stone surgeries.
Methods
Eligible studies for inclusion focused on investigating the success and/or complications related to endourological ex vivo surgeries in donors with nephrolithiasis. A SR was undertaken in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The search included databases of Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus and only article in English were included. Studies published between 2002 and 2023 included in this SR.
Results
After screening 1726 abstracts, this SR included 16 studies with a total of 209 patients. The mean stone size was 5.6 mm and majority of kidneys contained single stones, located in the lower calyx. After ex vivo endourological stone surgeries, the average stone-free rate was found to be 95.4%. The mean duration of ex vivo surgery was 17.3 minutes. Regarding intraoperative complications, two patients (1%) experienced mucosal injuries during pneumatic lithotripsy. As for postoperative complications, two patients (1%) experienced vascular complications. In terms of urological complications, hematuria was observed in 24 patients (11.5%), while one patient (0.5%) experienced clot formation in renal pelvis. Seven patients (3.3%) had urinary tract infections, and three patients (1.4%) developed urolithiasis during the follow-up. Additionally, one patient (0.5%) experienced complete occlusion of ureteroneocystostomy and required revision.
Conclusion
Given the advancements in current technology and techniques, endourological ex vivo stone surgeries are increasingly recognized as an effective and safe option for donors with nephrolithiasis.
Trial registration
This systematic review was registered under the protocol registration number CRD42024538384/PROSPERO.
