Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of needle assisted retrograde intrarenal holmium-laser incision (RIR-HoLI) for pararenal cyst guided by B-ultrasound.Methods The clinical data of 33 patients with pararenal cyst treated from August 2013 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography urography (CTU) before operation. During the operation, flexible ureteroscopic was used to enter the renal pelvis. For those with stones, lithotripsy was performed first, and then B-ultrasound was used to puncture the cyst. The laser burned along the puncture needle into or out of the cyst wall. After the cyst wall was cut, a double J stent was left in the cyst cavity.Results All the 33 operations were successfully completed. The operation time was 11 ~ 72 min, with an average of (39.51 ± 14.33) min. Hemoglobin decreased by 0 ~ 36 g/L, with an average of (13.88 ± 5.12) g/L. Postoperative hospital stay was 1~8 d, with an average of (2.42 ± 0.63) d; Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ complications occurred in 5 cases and Clavien-Dindo grade II complications occurred in 1 case, which improved after symptomatic treatment; The double J stent was retained for 33 ~ 180 d, with an average of (63.42 ± 12.88) d. Before extubation, CT showed that 18 cases of cysts disappeared completely, 14 cases were significantly reduced, and 1 case was slightly reduced; The hydronephrosis disappeared completely in all cases with hydronephrosis. In 14 cases with calculi, 12 cases were completely drained, and 2 cases remained a little meaningless calculi. The patients were followed up for 30 ~ 72 d after extubation, with an average of (34.28 ± 7.11) d. CT reexamination showed that there was no recurrence or enlargement of the cyst.Conclusion The needle assisted RIR-HoLI for pararenal cyst guided by B-ultrasound has the advantages of fast, small trauma, rapid recovery and accurate curative effect, and has the clinical significance of popularization.
