Abstract
Aim: Aim of the present study was to analyze the outcomes of obese patients treated with ureterorenoscopy for upper calyceal stones. Material and Method: Data of obese patients who had flexible ureterorenoscopy for upper calyceal stones in January 2015-December 2018 period were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic features, stone sizes, stent use after the operation, operative time, hospital stay, complications, and stone-free rate were evaluated. Results: The study included 30 obese patients (18 male and 12 female). The average age was 52.6±12.06 years. Average stone size was 19.46±6.6 mm. The average operative time was 72.1±16.8 minutes and hospital stay was 1.5±1.1 days. The success rate was 73.3%. Double J stent was placed in 76.6% of the patients after the operation. In postoperative follow-ups, three patients had severe colic pain, five patients had hematuria lasted less than 24 hours without need for blood transfusion and two patients had urinary system infection. No major complications that could lead to morbidity or mortality were observed in any patients. Conclusion: Flexible ureterorenoscopy is an efficient treatment method with its higher stone-free and lower complication rates for the treatment of upper calyceal stones in obese patients.
