Abstract :
Purpose
To compare efficacy, safety and outcome of total tubeless PCNL with tubeless PCNL.
Materials & Methods
The study included 52 patients undergoing PCNL randomized into tubeless PCNL(T) group and total tubeless PCNL(TT) group each containing 26 patients. Patients with congenital renal anomalies, solitary functioning kidney, previous renal surgery, clinically significant residual fragments, perforation of pelvi–calyceal system and requiring conversion were excluded. Data analyzed using SPSS 20, chi–square test and Student’s t test were used where appropriate. A p–value of <0.05 was considered significant.
Results
Mean age, mean stone size, preoperative hemoglobin and creatinine level in group T and TT were comparable. Similar waspostoperative hemoglobin and creatinine level. The mean operating time,VAS and analgesic required in groupTT was significantly shorter than group T. Complications rate and hospital stay was comparable between the groups.
Conclusion
Tubeless and total tubeless PCNL are safe options in selected cases. However, total tubeless PCNL is associated with significantly less postoperative pain, analgesic requirement and avoids revisit for stent removal minimizing stent related complications and treatment cost.
