COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTOMY IN DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PURE MEDICAL RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Evaluation of feasibility, safety and effectiveness of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in different age groups. Patients and methods: Between July 1997 - October 2012, 233 patients who were 65 years old and older were included in this study. These patients were divided into two age subgroups used in gerontology research. Group 1 was dened as patients 65-74 years old, Group 2 was older than 74 years old. Data from patient records, including demographic characteristics, preoperative evaluation, operative details, complications were retrospectively analyzed and compared with control group data. Results: The mean age of 233 patients was 69.7 ± 4.6 years. The mean operative times for Group 1, group 2 and the control group were 76.2 ± 47.3 mins, 92.9 ± 47.6 mins, 77 ± 44 mins, respectively and there was no statistically signicant difference between groups 1 and 2 and the control group (p>0.05). Twenty-eight of the 233 patients (12%) needed blood transfusion due to perioperative bleeding. The transfusion rates of groups 1 and 2 were 11.3% and 16.7%, respectively. There was no statistically signicant difference between the study groups and control group for blood transfusion rates (p>0.05). There was no statistically signicant difference in complications between the study and control groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: In geriatric patients, stone-free rates, transfusion rates and other operation parameters are similar to younger populations when experienced surgeons perform PCNL. Despite comorbidities and decreased body reserve, PCNL can be performed without a signicant increase in complications in different ages.
