摘要

Purpose

To assess the 30-day stone-free rate and peri-operative outcomes of flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) with flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS) in adults undergoing same-sitting bilateral retrograde intrarenal surgery (SSB-RIRS).

Methods

Prospectively data of 115 adult patients with bilateral kidney stone disease undergoing SSB-RIRS across 14 global centers between July 2023 and March 2024 were analyzed. Patient demographics, stone characteristics and operative outcomes were recorded. A low-dose non contrast CT scan was performed at 30 days to assess the stone-free rate and clinical outcomes.

Results

Overall bilateral zero residual fragment(ZRF) was 42.6%; unilateral ZRF was 75.7%. Only two patients were noted to have residual fragments > 4 mm. 1.7% experienced Traxer-Thomas grade 1 ureteric injury which was managed with a ureteral stent for four weeks. No pelvicalyceal injury occured. Postoperative mean loin pain score was 1.7 ± 1.0. None had sepsis nor required blood transfusion. 4.3% required readmission within 30 days of surgery. Multivariate analysis indicated longer total operation time correlated with lower odds of achieving a 100% bilateral stone-free (ZRF) (OR 0.978, 95%CI = 0.959–0.994, p = 0.013).

Conclusion

To our knowledge, this is the first multicenter study demonstrating the use of FANS in SSB-RIRS can achieve bilateral ZRF with low complication and re-intervention rates. However, prolonged surgical time may negatively impact outcomes. The indications of bilateral renal stones management with FURS can be expanded in appropriate chosen patients.
