Clinical Trial Summary

The main aim of the study is to investigate and compare the possible acute effect of standard PCNL, mini-PCNL and RIRS on renal function. Secondary aims are to investigate the efficacy (stone-free rate), safety (complication rate, long-term kidney function) and other parameters (operation, fluoroscopy and hospitalization time) concerning the 3 endourological operations (PCNL, mini- PCNL, RIRS) for the treatment of renal calculi.


Description:

This is a 3-arm parallel group prospective randomized active-treatment clinical study. A total of 75 patients with renal calculi 10-30 mm in maximal diameter measured in abdominal CT scan will be recruited in this research protocol. Patient enrollment will be performed from patients referred to Urolithiasis Unit of the 1st Urology Department, G. Gennimatas Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In all potentially eligible patients full medical history, as well as demographic characteristics and drug treatment will be recorded, followed by a detailed physical examination and standard laboratory tests. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive one of the following endourological techniques of nephrolithotripsy: standard PCNL, mini- PCNL or RIRS. All eligible patients will be randomised to one of the 3 groups, consisting of 25 patients, with an equal allocation ratio (1:1). The randomization sequence will be computer generated by the study coordinating team. The primary and secondary measurements of the study will be carried in prespecified time-points that are listed below: Point 0(P0): Screening visit: Potentially eligible patients will be asked to provide written informed consent. We will record full medical history, concomitant medication, clinical examination, demographic characteristics, body weight, height, body mass index (BMI). Point 1(P1): 1st day of hospitalization (Monday or Thursday): Admission of the patient to the hospital where a routine preoperative control is conducted including: routine hematological and biochemical laboratory parameters (Hct, Hb, WBC, PLT, fasting glucose, urea, creatinine, serum electrolytes, SGOT, SGPT), chest X-ray and anesthesiological preoperative evaluation. Patient is randomized to be treated with one of the 3 endourological operations. Point 2(P2): Operation day (Tuesday or Friday), 2 hours before the operation: Urine sample is collected for measurement of urine biomarkers (NGAL, KIM-1, IL-18) and creatinine (baseline values). Blood sample is collected for creatinine measurement and eGFR is calculated. Point 3(P3): Operation (PCNL, mini-PCNL or RIRS): Operation, fluoroscopy time and intraoperative complications are recorded Point 4(P4): 2 hours after the operation: Urine sample is collected for measurement of urine biomarkers (NGAL, KIM-1, IL-18) and creatinine. Blood sample is collected for creatinine measurement and eGFR is calculated. A VAS pain score is completed. Urine output is measured. Postoperative complications are recorded. Point 5(P5): 6 hours after the operation: Urine sample is collected for measurement of urine biomarkers (NGAL, KIM-1, IL-18) and creatinine. Blood sample is collected for creatinine measurement and eGFR is calculated. A VAS pain score is completed. Urine output is measured. Postoperative complications are recorded. Point 6(P6): 24 hours after the operation: Urine sample is collected for measurement of urine biomarkers (NGAL, KIM-1, IL-18) and creatinine. Blood sample is collected for creatinine measurement and eGFR is calculated. A VAS pain score is completed. Urine output is measured. Postoperative complications are recorded. Point 7(P7): 48 hours after the operation: Urine sample is collected for measurement of urine biomarkers (NGAL, KIM-1, IL-18) and creatinine. Blood sample is collected for creatinine measurement and eGFR is calculated. A VAS pain score is completed. Urine output is measured. Potential postoperative complications are recorded. Point 8(P8): 1 month after the operation: CT scan is conducted for confirmation of treatment success and stone free status or not. Blood sample is collected for creatinine measurement and eGFR is calculated. Potential postoperative complications are recorded. Point9(P9): 3 months after the operation: Blood sample is collected for creatinine measurement and eGFR is calculated. Potential postoperative complications are recorded.

Study Design


Intervention

Procedure:
PCNL
Under general anesthesia and patient in prone position, with the use of a flexible cystoscope an open-ended ureteral catheter 5F / 70cm is positioned to the proximal ureter. Retrograde pyelography is performed and the most appropriate calyx is accessed with the use of ultrasound, under fluoroscopic guidance. A 0.035 guide wire is inserted into the ureter and then replaced with an extra stiff wire. Using either balloon (20 atm) or Amplatz serial dilators a 30F access channel is created. Lithotripsy is performed using ultrasound lithotripter and stone fragments are removed by grasping forceps. At the end of the operation a 18F Council type catheter is placed into the kidney for drainage of urine and an indwelling JJ catheter is inserted in the ipsilateral ureter. Council and JJ catheter are removed,in the absence of complications, the second and tenth postoperative day, respectively.
mini-PCNL
Under general anesthesia and patient in prone position, with the use of a flexible cystoscope an open-ended ureteral catheter 5F / 70cm is positioned to the proximal ureter. Retrograde pyelography is performed and the most appropriate calyx is accessed with the use of ultrasound, under fluoroscopic guidance. A 0.035 guide wire is inserted into the ureter and then replaced with an extra stiff wire. Using Amplatz serial dilators a 16F access channel is created. Lithotripsy is performed using using 270mm Ho: YAG laser fiber and stone fragments are removed by grasping forceps. At the end of the operation a 10F nephrostomy tube is placed into the kidney for drainage of urine and an indwelling JJ catheter is inserted in the ipsilateral ureter. Nephrostomy tube and JJ catheter are removed, in the absence of complications, the second and tenth postoperative day, respectively.
RIRS
Under general anesthesia and patient in lithotomy position, a 0.035 hydrophilic safety wire is inserted in the ureter under fluoroscopic guidance. Subsequently 8-10 F dilators are used for dilation of the ureter.Insertion of a second working wire follows above which a 14F ureteral sheath is placed. Lithotripsy with a flexible ureteroscope using 270mm Ho: YAG laser fiber follows.Remaining stone fragments are removed by a 2,2F nitinol basket. At the end of the operation a JJ indwelling ureteral catheter is placed over the safety wire. Discharge is performed in the absence of complications, the first postoperative day while JJ catheter is removed on the 10th postoperative day.
