Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is one of the most frequent renal malformations which appears to present an increased risk of stone formation caused by abnormal urine drainage. This study aims to compare the results of single-use flexible ureteroscopy (SUfURS) vs reusable devices (RfURS) with holmium laser in treating stones in HSK cases. Between February 2017 and June 2021, 29 patients diagnosed with renal stone disease and horseshoe kidney were retrospectively analyzed. Subjects were divided into two groups: Group 1 (14 patients) undergoing SUfURS and Group 2 (15 patients) operated with RfURS devices. We analyzed the mean stone burden, operation time, stone free rate and complications. The surgical equipment was represented by the SUfURS PU3022 (Zhuhai Pusen Medical Technology) and RfURS URF-V2 (Olympus). The two groups had a similar mean stone burden: 22 ± 6 mm (range 15-31 mm) for Group 1 and 24 ± 7 mm (range 16-30 mm) for Group 2. The average operative time was better for Group 1 (86 ± 17 min) vs Group 2 (89 ± 20 min). The stone-free status was similar for both groups after the first session (57.14% for Group 1 vs 53.33% for Group 2) and slightly in favor of Group 1 as compared to Group 2 (85.71% vs 73.33%, respectively) after the second session. The overall complication rate (Grades I, II and III) was almost similar in both groups, with a slightly prevalence for Group 1 (no major complications Grade IV and V). Flexible ureteroscopy represents an effective alternative treatment technique for large stones in kidney abnormalities. single-use flexible ureteroscopy can be successfully used to treat patients with genetically renal malformations and its results may be slightly better than those provided by using RfURS devices.
马蹄肾(HSK)是最常见的肾脏畸形之一,由于尿液引流异常,其结石形成风险似乎有所增加。本研究旨在比较一次性软性输尿管镜(SUfURS)与可重复使用设备(RfURS)联合钬激光治疗马蹄肾结石病例的效果。2017年2月至2021年6月期间,对29例诊断为肾结石病和马蹄肾的患者进行了回顾性分析。受试者分为两组:第1组(14例患者)接受SUfURS治疗,第2组(15例患者)使用RfURS设备进行手术。我们分析了平均结石负荷、手术时间、结石清除率和并发症情况。手术设备分别为SUfURS PU3022(珠海普生医疗科技)和RfURS URF-V2(奥林巴斯)。两组的平均结石负荷相似:第1组为22±6mm(范围15 - 31mm),第2组为24±7mm(范围16 - 30mm)。第1组的平均手术时间(86±17分钟)优于第2组(89±20分钟)。第一次手术后两组的结石清除状态相似(第1组为57.14%,第2组为53.33%),第二次手术后第1组略优于第2组(分别为85.71%和73.33%)。两组的总体并发症发生率(I、II和III级)几乎相似,第1组略高(无IV级和V级严重并发症)。软性输尿管镜检查是治疗肾脏异常大结石的一种有效替代治疗技术。一次性软性输尿管镜可成功用于治疗遗传性肾脏畸形患者,其效果可能略优于使用RfURS设备。
