Efficacy and safety of super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of urinary calculi: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Super-mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) is feasible and safe in adults and children with moderate-size renal calculi, but the use of SMP to remove larger calculi has yet to be determined. This study aimed to review the efficacy (stone-free rate, SFR) and safety of SMP in treating urinary calculi.

Methods

PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched for eligible studies published up to May 2021. The primary outcome was the SFR. The secondary outcomes were the complications (using the Clavien-Dindo grading system), pain score, hospitalization days, and mean hemoglobin decline. All analyses were performed using the random-effects model. Nine studies (2433 patients with SMP and 2178 controls) were included.

Results

SMP was not associated with an improved SFR in patients with calculi (RR = 1.05, 95%CI: 0.99-1.11). There were no differences in the occurrence of Clavien-Dindo I (RR = 0.95, 95%CI: 0.67-1.35) and Clavien-Dindo II (RR = 0.91, 95%CI: 0.58-1.42) complications between SMP and the control procedures. There were more Clavien-Dindo III complications with SMP than with the control procedures (RR = 0.71, 95%CI: 0.55-0.91), but none of the individual complications significantly differed between the two groups. Clavien-Dindo I fever appeared to be higher with SMP than with the control procedure (RR = 0.64, 95%CI: 0.50-0.83).

Conclusion

In terms of efficacy, there were no differences between SMP and other procedures in treating urinary calculi. Clavien-Dindo I fever and Clavien-Dindo III complications might be more frequent with SMP than other procedures.

Project description:BackgroundWith advances in medicine, there have been more and more ways to treat renal calculi in recent years. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a safe and effective treatment. The purpose of this paper is to study the efficacy and safety of PCNL combined with negative pressure suction in the treatment of renal calculi by meta-analysis.MethodsThe PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Chinese Journal Full-Text Database, VIP, Wanfang Science and Technology Journal Full-Text Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Search databases were searched for articles related to the efficacy and safety of PCNL combined with negative pressure suction in the treatment of renal calculi from the establishment of the databases to October 2021. Endnote X9 software was first used to check and eliminate the articles, and the quality of the included articles were evaluated according to the risk of bias tool of Cochrane Collaboration. Stata 15.1 software was used to record the data. A meta-analysis was performed on the stone clearance rate, operation time, postoperative complications, postoperative fever, septic shock, intrapelvic pressure, and blood loss of PCNL combined with negative pressure suction in the treatment of renal calculi. The reliability of the results was assessed by a sensitivity analysis. Egger's linear test was used to test the publication bias of the articles.ResultsA total of 10 articles were included in the meta-analysis, and the total sample size of the study was 820. The meta-analysis showed that when PCNL combined with negative pressure suction was used to treat renal calculi, the stone clearance rate and the occurrence of septic shock of the test group did not differ significantly from that of the control group; the incidence rate of postoperative complications、the operation time, the intraoperative bleeding and the postoperative fever of the test group was significantly better than that of the control group.DiscussionCompared to the group without negative pressure, PCNL reduces the operation time, postoperative complications, postoperative fever, septic shock, and intraoperative blood loss without increasing the risk of septic shock.

Project description:BackgroundShock wave lithotripsy (SWL), retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and minimally invasive PCNL are currently therapeutic options for lower-pole renal stones (LPS). However, the optimal treatment for LPS remains unclear. A comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy and safety of each intervention is needed to inform clinical decision-making. This study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of different interventions for LPS.MethodsPubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, ClinicalKey, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to December 6th 2018. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including the patients treated for LPS were included. The frequentist models of network meta-analysis were used to compare the effect sizes. The primary outcome was stone free rate, and the secondary outcomes were overall complication rate, major complication rate, retreatment rate, and auxiliary procedure rate.ResultsThis study included 13 RCTs comprising 1832 participants undergoing 6 different interventions, including RIRS, PCNL, Mini-PCNL, Micro-PCNL, SWL, and conservative observation. PCNL had the best stone free rate (odds ratio [OR] = 3.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.30-9.12), followed by Mini-PCNL (OR = 2.90, 95% CI = 1.13-7.46). Meta-regression did not find any association of the treatment effect with age, sex, and stone size. Although PCNL tended to exhibit a higher complication rate, the difference of complication rate among various interventions did not achieve a statistical significance. SWL was the less effective and associated with higher retreatment rate compared with PCNL, Mini-PNCL, and RIRS.ConclusionsPCNL was associated with the best stone free rate for LPS regardless of age, sex, and stone size. Each treatment achieved a similar complication rate compared with the others. Future large-scale RCTs are warranted to identify the most beneficial management for renal stones at a more complicated location.
